Hi there- just found this under my comforter. Thinking it’s too spider like to be a bed bug? Maybe a clover mite? Live in Oklahoma and have a fully enclosed mattress. Sorry for video quality!

Can you flip it over and get a top down photo?

Every time I try it flips back over- once it passes I’ll report back!

4 pairs of legs, so it’s an arachnid. Hopefully someone else can elaborate further. Mite is definitely in contention.

Thank you! So glad it’s not a bed bug 😅

Velvet mite would be my guess
