Insect identification

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..........)

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?

Yeah I would say beetle.. but I think bedbugs are smaller.. the head to body transition doesn't match a bedbug

Yea no other pics right now.. Someone sent me the pic via text so I don't have too much info right now.

Hmm..does fit the body type of a bedbug..but yea looks very large but I've never seen a bedbug in the "flesh"

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 - bedbug_on_skin.jpg

bedbug_on_finger.jpg

So it could be, but that's TINY, we'd need a size comparison in the next picture.
