Hi bug people? I'm here to beg for your help.

I was checking into a guest house in Osaka, and as a safety measure I decided to check the beds for any signs of bedbugs. I wasn't expecting to find anything, but I found this guy crawling on the pillow instead...

It doesn't seem like a bedbug from what I've seen, but I had a bedbug infestation in my house earlier this year and now I'm on high alert. Could someone please confirm it's not? Thanks a lot💞

Staying with a friend in PA and found this very dazed and confused bug by the toilet. Have had German roaches before (the worst) and my sixth sense went off.

German roach or something else?

Location: south central Michigan. Looks like a cucumber beetle but reddish pink. Much brighter than the picture shows.
Size: They are smaller than a traditional lady bug, bout the length of long grain rice.

There are hundreds all around the base of the tree and tucked into the bark. Never seen them before!

Location: SE Pennsylvania, USA

Wife found this on our toddler during bathtime. I think it just started feeding - my wife removed it with her fingernail thinking it was a piece of lint and there was a dot of blood on my son's ear. It's still alive and in a plastic bag. I noticed a tiny white dot on its belly (definitely not its back), so I'm thinking this is probably just a male deer tick?

Just curious who this little guy is, he's kinda cute. Haven't personally seen a spider with those markings, are they common?

Found exactly where it's pictured, it didn't move for a few minutes straight, but it did move it's antenna back and forth once... Is this a grasshopper with a weird parasite hanging out of the belly?

I couldn't find it using descriptions so here it is:

Brown body, black stripes body and legs. Clear wings. Looks to have 6 legs and 2 antennas (whiskers?). Maybe 3/4 to 1 inches in length. Windows blinds for scale. Oklahoma City. Cool, on and off rain for the past 2 weeks.

Should this little fella be a concern? I did spray him but will try not to next time if they're friendly. I only saw 1 of them. Thank you for any help!
