   Hello,
   I recently started finding some weird bugs in my bed. They're very small - maybe 1mm long, dark brown and they're not very fast. I'm not sure what they are but I've started to get worried since I already found several of them. Could you please have a look and confirm whether they are bedbugs or not? And if they aren't, does anyone know what they are?

   I'd really appreciate any help!

   It works now and it's not a bed bug. Some kind of beetle.

   Hm... do you know what kind of beetles go on beds? That's the only place in the house I see them... I'm afraid they might bite during the night or do they feed on something they find on the bed...?

   A beetle that looks like the drugstore beetle, Stegobium paniceum. You can look up info online. Because it's in your bed, doesn't mean it originates from there. Basically a stored product pest, but its food list is long.
