    Hey guys,

    I recently looked at a box of VHS' in my apartment to discover a few of them had some little yellowish/whitish bugs crawling on them. I know my roommate brought in a few VHS' from a box on the street, so I fear infestation through that means. However, once I threw the box out, I've been unable to find signs of the bugs anywhere else. They were not located anywhere near beds or where people usually sleep/sit for long periods of time, and I haven't noticed any bites or anything at all. I've checked mattresses and couches to find nothing. It seemed pretty localized.

    My initial fear was that they were nymphs, as I understand they appear small and almost transparent. However, I could not find a single brown or larger bug to indicate so. Sorry I don't have any pics, but they were very small and appeared, to my untrained eye, potentially similar to bed bugs. What are the chances these were bed bugs, or am I just being paranoid? Any other possible critters?
