   I had BB at my apt. I am staying with my friend and am super cautious (shower just before I leave my apt., put on "safe" bagged clothes, change when I get there, keep all belongings bagged, spray shoes with alcohol), but I am paranoid. I found a few bugs while scouring my friend's place. I want to make sure I didn't bring them with me (I had a "very mild" infestation and was only bit about 10-15 times--but was at my friend's apt. just hanging out and visiting before I knew what was going on--so, I'm worried I could have brought one in then).

   I'm not getting the same kind of bites at my friend's place (I had a bad allergic reaction)-- but I noticed a few bites here and there that sting or itch and then immediately fade. It's a basement apartment, so it could be anything--but I want to be 100% certain!

   Anything here look suspicious? I was told by a PCO that they are not BB--but I want another opinion even though he is very good. My former PCO (who was not great) identified a bug I had bagged in my own apt as a BB that looks identical to one posted here (that the new PCO says is NOT), so I'm confused. Please help!

   Definitely not bed bugs. The pictures are not great and there is no scale to see how big the insects are, but here goes:

   1) Cockroach nymph
   2) Cockroach nymph
   3) Some sort of grain beetle, possibly a weevil.
   4) A beetle but not sure what kind.

   2) Cockroach nymph
   3) Some sort of grain beetle, possibly a weevil.
   4) A beetle but not sure what kind.

   3) again, not sure of its true size, but could be a latridiid beetle.
   4) again, not sure of its true size, but could be a black carpet beetle.
