   We had bedbugs about 10 weeks ago and since have had 3 chemical treatments.
   Last night we saw one one of these alive and one dead.

   Can anyone please tell me if this is a bedbug ?

   Thank you !

   Some kind of beetle not a bed bug.

   (Even though I'm not an expert.)

   Hi,

   No, I think its a mould beetle or cryptophagus. If you look at the fine detail on the antennae its all wrong for Cimex and the body segments are another easy confirmer as no.

   Definitely a beetle, not a bed bug. Body, legs, head, antennae make it a beetle and not a true bug. Not a Cryptophagus or mold beetle. It looks relatively big, too.
