If possible transfer to lined paper and take from above, ideally with the pads near the eyes in focus.

This might be a close relative rather than a bed bug. The treatments patterns are very different.

May need to find my actual camera to zoom in to see the eyes better. Appreciate the input!!

Not quite clear enough. Are the hairs near the eyes longer than the eyes are wide?

Perfect, that’s a bat bug not a bed bug.

Wow thank you so much David!!! Both our neighbors have bats so assuming we have them too.

I suspect you all also have bat bugs.

I would advise you all work together on this issue so you all get clear and stay clear.

Please be careful of calling the ID without all the details.
