I'm pretty sure it is a nymph bedbug, but I thought I might hold out the last shred of hope that it's not.. here's as good a photo as I could get! I've had bites, but I haven't had seen anything bigger than a couple guys this size.

One odd thing I've noticed is that these bites I get swell up quickly to mosquito bites, but then are gone just as quickly! Like a half hour of itchiness, and then it's completely disappeared.

Can't tell for sure but it doesn't scream BB. It looks too long and strike me more like a louse.
Google up pics of body lice. Still a problem but a different critter.

Hi,
Although the resolution is not high enough to give a positive id I can tell you its not a bed bug.
I suspect its either a head lice or a body lice.

Lice can be just as bad as a problem, which includes washing clothes etc, another pain the in butt I'd get on that problem ASAP.
