I am just wondering what kind of bug is this? I found it on me, but am not sure if it came from outside or not.
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.
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.
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.
Can anyone identify this bug? One shows up every year in early fall.

Hello ~
I just found one of those bugs yesterday and I identified it as a sort of stink bug. Its official name is a western conifer seed bug according to the web.
Is this a flea that is stuck in the trap? I think it is? Thanks!
Sure looks like a flea..
What was the purpose of the trap?
What type of bug where you trying to catch?
If you have pets you will need to start a flea removal program quickly as fleas multiply fast.
If you have a yard you may have to think about defleaing it also.
If you do not have pets then you will probably have to think about how the flea got into your home.
My girlfriend lives on a college campus and she has just started having a problem with this and she doesnt know where these bugs are coming from. Any help is useful.
It is the most odd bug I have ever seen (kind of cute lol) and I wanted to know what it was. It has been on my car for days running around doing bug things.
I found several of these arrow shaped sticker-like things in my hair. I also found them on my dog, which is a wire-haired mini daschund. They were very difficult to get off. A few days before, I had a sudden, multiple variety, bug hatching at my house and I'm worried about (eggs, disease) if they are bugs.
If not a bug, what are they and how did we pick these hitchhikers up?
This appears to be a sticker (or bur). My understanding is these are NOT harmful unless they become lodged in an animal's skin, ears, or nose. So you definitely did exactly the right thing by plucking them off your doggo as soon as possible!
It doesn't look like beetle eggs or larvae. I think this is a part of a corkscrew seed (Filaree or Pelargonium or something else). These seeds have one end like an arrow, and the other end like a spiral (to screw into the soil). Perhaps the spiral part broke off when you pulled it out of your hair.
So I have these bugs making trails under my skin. If you look close they look like mites attached to whatever fibers they find. I am just not sure what type but they are literally eating me from the inside out. I had a parrot and they killed her and my goldfish as well. Please any help on what I can use to kill them.
