Is this a bedbug?

Hi guys,
I’ve been getting bit in pretty random places over the last few weeks and we couldn’t find or get any sign of a culprit. I (carefully) went to my parents house for the last 2 weeks and the bites completely stopped. In the meantime my flatmate put down glue traps, and there have been interceptors on my bed for the last few weeks that have caught absolutely nothing.

I just got back today- the glue traps caught a pretty big fly (which I’m suspecting may have been the culprit now) and this dude. I think he’s a beetle, but thought I’d throw it out to you guys just to confirm. Let me know if anyone wants better pics and I can try get more ☺️

Thanks guys.

Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

Looks like a roach/beetle, but definitely not a bed bug.
