  • I think I see four sets of legs which means its a mite, maybe something like a bird mite. Video was shot at 60X magnification so the mite is about 1mm in length.

  • bed bugs are translucent as young, and they have a dot in the middle of its body. as they suck blood they turn a burgundy color and still have a dot in the middle of their back.

  • dude!!! turkey mites!!! we found just one or two on my mothers bed, but its called a turkey mite. they bite the crap out of you and leave these swollen itchy patches that itch WORSE THAN CHICKEN POX!!wash your bedding really good and bathe in 1/2 cup of bleach water, and then lice shampoo. use the shampoo to kill the mites on your skin. wash the bedding and set it to dry on the HIGHEST setting.

  • its a tick...please don't let them get near your skin. they can cause redness and irritation to the skin.....

  • Parasitiformes

  • looks like a Tick.

  • it looks like a scabbies mite

  • @Scifen12

    Bedbuds don't look like that, and since it has 8 legs, it's a mite.

  • Chances are it's a bird mite an adult bedbug is around 4mm, a bird mite is around 1mm. If the bites are like mosquito bites but last much longer then bird mite is your best bet, as far as I know.
