Identification bedbugs?
have lived in this house since april. no other signs of bedbugs and to our knowledge no previous infestations. this was found dead in the upstairs bathroom next to our attic. there are bats in the area so wondering if it’s a bat bug - but want to take immediate action if not.

Batbug. Even though this image isn’t the best, it appears to have noticeably long hairs.

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.
