    This morning around 9am, I made my bed and then noticed a little red bug on top of my comforter.

    I captured him. He's still alive and kickin' in a little tupperware container.

    We haven't had any other signs of bugs. I realize its possible that my roommate and I have been bitten, but haven't reacted. We scoured our mattresses and sheets for signs of an infestation - didn't find anything.

    Here's the picture.

    It's body appears brown in the photo, but he actually appears to be somewhat yellow/translucent, and filled with ...red.

    From what research I've done, it appears to be a young bed-bug. But I'd love to hear from a professional.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,

    Sorry to say yes it's a bedbug nymph.

    Have a good look at the FAQ's and read up on your options.
