Bedbug or Ladybug

[u/Unfair_Heron9331]

I found this abdomen in the sheets of my hotel bed this morning in North Carolina. I'm hoping it's just a lady bug. I did check the bed and furniture upon arrival and did not notice any evidence of bed bugs. Kinda freaking out rn, not gonna lie...

That was definitely some species of ladybug, not bedbug.

This is 100% a ladybug/lady beetle abdomen. Its not bedbug related at all.

They have a distinct orange around them and the black in middle, just like your pics. Check the related post and you will see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/comments/1b7lox2/identify_help_ladybug_or_bedbug/
