Hi all -
Can you please help me figure out if this bug I found is in fact a bb? Its longer and narrower then the classic BB pic ive seen, but it has the same striped bottom and antenna. I found it half dead on its back in my living room, but Im still worried I might have a problem.

thanks for your help!

It looks like a dead silverfish... surely not a BB....

yeah looks like a silverfish or firebrat (similar but larger species).

Its 100% non bed bug though which can only ever be a good thing.

thanks guys - I had a case of bed bugs in June, unfortunately 1 month before I was due to move. I had my landlord send the exterminator twice to do treatments with the last being the day before I moved. I bought a new bed, which I've encased and I havent seen anything yet but Im full on paranoid that I've spread the bed bugs to my new apartment and freak out anytime I see anything close to one.
