What is it? Florida USA

Mid-Michigan: A student found this and showed me. The teacher and I each looked it up on google - teacher’s search said bedbug, mine said it’s a dog tick. What says Reddit?

I certainly think this is not a b. terrestris, a lucorum or a pascuorum but I just couldn't find the exact species of the specimen.

Ignore the piss, I was midstream before I noticed lol

Out of the corner of my eye, on the other side of the room, I I catch a glimpse of something not quite right. Our eyes (or equivalent) lock.

I look away for a brief moment, only long enough to grab a paper towel.

I lingered too long. It is gone.

But where?

Inside of me. Inside of my mind. The devil’s ghost, feasting on every single sleepless second that slips by.

Look, I know these things are beneficial and contribute a lot to maintaining a safe home ecosystem by munching on pests. But dang, they freak me out. Nothing should be able to move so fast while looking like that.

i’ve been seeing these all over my room lately and i’ve never seen these before like ever, they’re mainly on my wall but i’ll find them walking on my charger or on my headboard, i saw one on my duvet this morning, how cute 😆what are they and what can i do to get rid of them?

my sister in the next room is complaining about bites on her back and shit. could it be these fuckers?

I found it on my catnip

I found this mantis nymph in Campos de Jordão in Brazil. I don’t really know what species it could be.

Mattress has been in storage for a month. Only found a couple of these tiny bugs on the mattress. Any info would be appreciated!
