What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
If you think you've spotted a bed bug, they're red and brown, oval-shaped, and about the size of an apple seed. Their flat bodies swell if they've been eating.
Bed bugs tend to look like ticks, but instead of being black, they're more reddish brown.
What Do Bed Bug Bites Look Like?
Bed bugs will bite you at night on any skin that's exposed, typically at the ankle. The bite will be painless at first and then will later swell and itch. If your bite has a red dot in the center, it's not a bed bug bite, but rather a flea bite.
You can search in Google Images "Bed Bug Bite" to compare your bite to others.
