   Hi,

   You need to upload the picture to a hosting site like Flicker or photobucket and then post a link.

   We can then have a look at it for you. There are a few occasions and situations that can make bedbugs appear to be very black in colour but I would rather see an image before you jump to conclusions.

   Not a BB. Too blurry to be sure but looks like a small beetle.

   Too bad it's such a small image, too, but looks like a beetle of some sort.

    xacexoo, Looks like a spider beetle. Please make a new topic saying something like 'ID needed' rather than posting a new question in an existing thread where people may miss it.

    Hard to tell from the angle, but I'm also guessing spider beetle (relatively harmless, not a bed bug). Here's a link to an article with pix of BB and spider beetles for comparison http://bedbugger.com/2012/04/17/spider-beetles-and-bed-bugs/
