    I work with people who have BB so I am a bit paranoid. Found this curled up in my bathroom sink. The image is of the bug's underside. The strands are human hair (sorry, gross, but the bug started to open up and crawl away so I had to tape it quickly). Expert ID would be greatly appreciated! And if it's not BB, what could it be? I saw at least another bug like this one.

    I can try to take better photos if needed but just wanted some opinion asap...

    Thanks!!

    Very hard for 100% ID based on the image. It looks like a beetle ... Certainly not a bed bug.
