So I saw this climbing up the wall in my shower as I was taking a shower this morning. The wall in the bathroom shares the wall where I had one leftover box full of crap from the old bb apartment so I freaked out.

Im thinking this little guy may be too round to be a bb and when I squished him, no blood but wanted to leave it to the experts to see.

I think either Spider Beetle or carpet beetle?

Whatcha think? Please dont say bb. *knocks on wood*

Hi,

100% not BB.

Most likely to be a spider as it appears to have 8 legs.

Sorry to bother you, saw you online and needed some help...How do you find a particular person to answer a specific questions. I scrolled down the forum list and could not find the person administration suggested for answers (online or offline). I'm still having trouble navigating.

@Paranoid Sleeper: Every post has a link "PM this user" on the left. Find a post from the user you need to contact by scrolling down the page. Or use your web browser's internal search, or use the site's search (upper right corner). Or ask who you need to contact and I can try.

@NYC. Smashing spiders and spider beetles is good karma?
