I found this dead bed bug in my travel bag this morning (last time I travelled was 1.5 weeks ago). I'm trying to figure out what has been biting me in the past week because they are getting infected and swollen and don't seem like typical bed bug bites from what I've seen. I'm wondering if this is a female and if I should be looking for eggs somewhere or if this is a male hitchhiker that I picked up - if so is it possible for it to bite like 5+ times and then be found dead around the same time.

Long story short - do I need to get my room treated or is it more likely that it was just this guy.

In summary, I have gotten these bad bites over the past couple weeks that I seem to be allergic to (also have gotten infected). I finally started a deep search through my room for bed bugs and found these two.

I need help identifying the first insect to see if it's something that bites, or if my bites relate to the dead bed bug (I don't think so because the bites don't look like typical bed bug bites).
