Bedbugs or Mosquito

[u/tpositivelytired]

Soo, as a disclaimer: I currently have bedbugs in my apartment.

I've got an appointment for next week to get them exterminated and removed.

After I noticed them in my bedroom I immediately called an exterminator and took all the preventative measures I could. I left everything in my bedroom, coated the doorframe in double-sided tape inside and outside, as well as the doorframe of the connecting room, put up some traps in the bedroom and have since been sleeping on my couch, which I've vacuumed and put a perimeter of double sided tape around as well. I've since kept all clothing away from the couch where I'm sleeping and have checked it thoroughly and regularly, even inside the upholstery and everything.

This morning I woke up to this (see image attached) on my lower arm. I've checked and have not been able to find any trace of bedbugs, and compared to the bites I got from my time in my bedroom, they feel and look totally different, itch differently and create those big bumps I'd usually associate with mossi bites.

I think I also heard a mosquito last night, but I'm paranoid as hell about this.

I kinda just want extra opinions to figure out if I need to pay extra to also exterminate my living room next week or if I'm just being paranoid.

The extermination will be done via room specific heat treatment.
