I often wake up with itchy red spots on my body these days, and am consequently developing a paranoia that there might be a bedbug infestation. I’ve searched my bedroom, and found, among other things, something that looks like a larva of some insect. I took photos of it against a scratched reflective background; unfortunately, the photos are not very focussed, but I hope they’re good enough to give some indication (JPEGs hosted on private webspace):
I also collected, in a transparent plasic bag, a few things which, to my layman’s eye, appear to be skin sheddings, and took a picture of that which is, I think, of much better quality:
My entomological knowledge is mostly limited to what I read, and the pictures I saw, on umpteen self-help websites, but to me this looks more like carpet beetles than bedbugs. What would knowledgeable dopers say?
