Thank you both so much! Sean, I looked up drugstore beetles and it looks exactly like it except this guy didn't have any hair/bristles. Certainly of the family if not that exactly. It looked just like nearly any random small brown bug but jut freaked me out because it was in my bed. Were sure it's not a bed bug? Sure I'm just being paranoid by this point...

Hi,
Did not reply earlier due to previous correct identifications but yes 100% sure its not a bedbug.
You can sleep soundly if this is all you have found.

ps - Just kidding. You might want to start a new thread rather than reply to a year old thread - which I'm sure you didn't do on purpose.

It's difficult to say because when zooming in, the image breaks up. Need a closer view of only the beetle without the penny.

No, still breaks up. Could be one of the fungus beetles -- a few families. Send me beetles if you want.
