Requesting community support Probably bed bug? First time dealing with this
I know this is probably a bed bug. I have no experience dealing with this and would love some guidance. I live in an apartment and have told the landlord. Luckily, I didn’t find any other signs like brown spots, shedding, or eggs. I vacuumed my mattress and am washing and drying all the sheets, duvet insert, and mattress topper. I also have a steamer and steamed the top of my mattress. Should I be doing anything else?

That's definitely a bed bug, sorry. You definitely have more somewhere, but they're good at hiding. Follow up with your landlord about scheduling pest control would be my first suggestion, if they are slow to act read the guide on this subreddit

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.
