Picture not too clear but it resembles a tick to me.
There are several kinds and some are more prevalent in different parts of the country.
If it is a tick, you should check your body and clothing carefully as there may be others and if you have pets (especially dogs0 be sure to check them carefully every time they go out until you take care of any bugs in your yard.

If you discover this is a tick here are some suggestions for getting rid of them if they're in your yard (if you have a yard).

If this is not a tick you really need to find out what it is for sure.

You can contact you county extension agency and send them the video as they will be more familiar with what type of bugs are prevalent in your area.

Correct removal is very important:
I used the liquid soap method on a camping trip and it worked but most sites recommend removal with tweezers.

This is a lice and it normally is found in your hair. They can jump from one head to another and lay eggs in your hair. If one is on your skin it could have come out of your hair.

I would try and check to see if you have any more of these around or in your hair. www.britannica.com/.../Evolution-and-paleontology

It looks like some type of weevil that hitched a ride on you from outdoors. Nothing to worry about unless you have some plant growing outdoors that they like. Weevils drill into plant stems and veins to suck the plant juices. If it happens enough, it can severely damage or kill the plant. Then you would need to use some kind of bug control on the favored plants.

This could be an egg sac from a western lynx spider. The egg sac of this spider is disk shape like the one I am seeing here. The egg sac is normally covered in the web from the spider to protect it.

Once the eggs hatch inside the egg sac the babies will live inside the egg and sac for the first month. After this, they will start to bite their way out of the nest like you are seeing here.

Stiletto Fly (named for the obvious stiletto heel body shape)
Harmless to humans
Predates on other insects. Larvae live in the soil and decaying vegetation; predate on other soil insects such as maggots, beetle larvae, etc.

Closely related to robber flies (also predators) which are much more common.

I started having bites on me a few years ago, and when I searched in carpet, I found these. There is a tiny little "leg" on the underneath, otherwise, it looks like a tiny maroon "bullet" with an attached round "head".

Anybody? P.S. They bite!A picture of a small bug on a white background.

These look like carpet beetles. Vacuum very thoroughly and treat with boric acid.

I keep finding these bugs in my room, some have wings and some don't. I'm not quite sure. They are usually on my bed randomly or my window (in the picture it's on my window, sorry the window is kinda dusty).
