I haven't traveled anywhere in more than a year because me and my family take turns in taking care of grandma. I haven't been in a hotel, cinema, taxi, bus, airplane either 
I found it on my potty seat on it's back trying to right itself up. I thought it's a ladybug at first since it was round and clumsy and put a finger above it to let it grab it. But it wasn't a ladybug, it was brown, flat and had a weird segmented body. After killing it and googling it's definitely a bed bug. There's a little vent above my potty that has a iron mesh with pretty big openings, I think it dropped down from there and fell on the potty seat, I was just lucky to catch it on time 
What if more entered my house last night or the day before? 
I don't want a bed bug infestation

It's a bed bug, looks exactly like a pic there
But after sleeping I don't have any new bites, there's no poop or blood on my sheets and I couldn't see anything moving on my bed when I woke up in the middle of the night 
But I know fleas don't always bite in the first or second night so it's still possible that there are some bed bugs that are still accommodating in my apartment and will appear in a day or two. Can't declare victory yet but it's a promising sign 
I don't keep dirty laundry outside of my washing machine. I try to keep my apartment as clean as possible since my neighbors have cockroaches and they constantly try to enter my home. Having less food sources around means they are more likely to avoid my doors and windows and move to other neighbors
But TIL about booklice, I have a frick ton of these too, and never knew what they are.

if you saw a bedbug, you have bedbugs. take eradication steps. It doesnt have to be expensive but it does have to be done.
uuuuuuuhhhhhhgghhhh it could have come from your apt neighbors. Ask the landlord to have a pest control company inspect their unit!
