Hi,
100% not bed bugs.
Samples are 90% likely to be cockroach nymphs.
Hope that helps.

That does help... Months ago, I had a PCO agree that I had BBs, but I now believe the samples I showed him were these bugs, and he was fooled (as I was). I'm pretty sure I've never been bitten, and it looks as if my months-long bedbug freakout may have been caused by roach nymphs. If there's a way to get the word out, let's let the newbies know that these can cause false positives! Thanks to everyone on thse forums - you're doing God's work.
