It sounds like you may be dealing with bed bugs, especially if you found something in your bed and previously saw similar things on clothing. They are tiny, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood, often leaving itchy bites. Here’s a careful step-by-step guide to identify and handle them:

How to Identify Bed Bugs

Appearance: Adults are small (about 4–5 mm), oval, flat, and reddish-brown. Nymphs (young) are smaller and lighter in color.

Signs in Bedding: Look for:

Small blood stains on sheets or pillowcases.

Tiny dark spots (fecal matter) on bedding, mattresses, or furniture.

Shed skins or eggs (white, tiny, sticky).

Bites: Often appear in clusters on exposed skin, usually on arms, legs, or torso.
