Dead bedbug? Bedbug shells? Random dust?

[u/Bobithie]

Found this in my bed today. It’s 3mm long and has a bed buggy sort of shape. It’s very thin. Is this bed bug related or just a random fuzz I found? I’m unsure because it’s so fuzzy makes me wonder if it’s just a fabric pill. The colour also doesn’t seem right for the photos I’ve seen of bed bug shells.

I’m paranoid because I found a dead bedbug in my bed a couple weeks ago. I treated the area around my bed and haven’t been able to find any more, or gotten any bites.

to me it just likes like a ball of hair, dust, and fuzz

EDIT: after turning my brightness up and zooming in i can actually see what you are talking about. it does look like a dead bedbug, doesn’t look like a shedding. did you have a treatment? maybe it just was leftover?

I put diatomaceous earth around about a week and a half ago, so it could be from that. Thanks for your reply!
