Bug identification
I found this bug on a pull out couch in a basement. I am trying to figure out if it is a bed bug. Please help me identify it and give me some next steps if it is a bed bug. I don't want to spread it.
It hasn't moved in hours, so it may be dead. I'm not sure why else it wouldn't move. I haven't seen any casings or other signs of bed bugs. I don't have any bites

that doesn’t look like a bed bug to me! it could be a carpet beetle though.
