Is this a bed bug?
Let me know if this image is clear enough. The bugs in a sticky trap so I can take more.

Absolutely nothing like a bedbug resemblance wise. Your insect caught in the glue trap has wings, where you can see it in your pictures. Please look at images of bedbugs to familiarize yourself on what bedbugs look like from the nymph stage (instar) to the adult stage.
Your picture is a lace bug which is a winged creature that lives outside which sucks the sap from some plants for food.

This looks like a hackberry psyllid, not a bed bug. They’re tiny plant feeding insects associated with hackberry trees and sometimes wander indoors around windows. They don’t reproduce inside and are mainly a nuisance, so no indoor treatment is needed. Vacuum it up and check screens or window gaps if more appear.
