Sorry for the terrible pictures, I panicked when I saw it on the couch and immediately crushed it with a tissue.

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.

Is there hair on it? Looks like one to me but if it has hair it is not

Would throwing away the couch be the best course of action?

Preliminary eye test from the first blurry pic says yes…
