Need help figuring out what bug this is!

10 years ago

So we found this little insect in our house tonight and need help finding out what it is. It's slightly bugger then a sesame seed and appears to have antennas as you an see.

We were afraid it might be a tick or flea but not to sure about it. We do have a dog in the house but he hasn't been itching or nothing and has all his shots and flea meds. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Not a flea , tick (have 8 legs), bedbug, or louse (8 legs). Does not appear to be a stinging or biting insect. Looks more beetle-ish than buggish, hard to tell from the small image.

Agree--not a flea or tick or likely anything that would bother anyone. Not a louse either, although they have 6 legs. Also agree--can't tell much more with that photo!
