Barney T. Administrators Posted January 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2013 Looks like a spider from this angle....... it is hard to tell from that one pic. Do you have any more? (I looked at it again and switched my thoughts..........) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah it's got 6 legs so not a spider.. could be a tick.. naa a tick has 8 legs.. and is considered an arachnid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted January 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ahhh, I was just about to post that. Ticks have 8 legs (6 when they are first born). Maybe some type of beetle? Wait..... bedbug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would say beetle.. but I think bedbugs are smaller.. the head to body transition doesn't match a bedbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzdawg Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yea no other pics right now.. Someone sent me the pic via text so I don't have too much info right now. Yeah I would say beetle.. but I think bedbugs are smaller.. the head to body transition doesn't match a bedbug Hmm..does fit the body type of a bedbug..but yea looks very large but I've never seen a bedbug in the "flesh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sorry that is a bed bug.. but it doesn't match the shape of the OPs bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linsook Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 That's a tick and has 8 legs, this has 6 i google imaged bed bug... i think that pic has 6 legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 i google imaged bed bug... i think that pic has 6 legs. See my edit above. The position of the head/torso/thorax doesn't match very well with a bedbug Although here is a younger stage bedbug that closer matches it - So it could be, but that's TINY, we'd need a size comparison in the next picture.

McCordRm Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm going with some kind of tiny beetle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm going with some kind of tiny beetle. Yeah it's really hard to tell, a bedbug is only like 2-3mm... Bedbug size - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 my first guess was a beetle of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
