Identifying a Tiny Bug?

Identifying a Tiny BugOver the past week, I've been seeing these super tiny bugs in my bedroom. I first noticed one as it was crawling on my face. After that I saw them mostly crawling across my phone screen every once in awhile. I've only seen about ten of these so far and it is unclear if there's an actual infestation as I have not seen a bunch of them concentrated in one area. I've already ruled out that they're bedbugs or fleas. These little things also do not bite or fly.

The first image I've attached is their actual size. They look like some sort of speck of dust or lint so they're hard to miss. The following two images is of it magnified.

Put the bugs in a plastic bag and take it to a place that sells pesticides. They can help you.

There are some pest libraries online...like this one from one of the big name companies...where you can scroll through pictures to match what you have to their pictures of pests:

The other thing I do is use Google IMAGES tab (NOT the ALL tab) and type in exactly what I have...like in your case... microscopic (flying or non flying) inset (with or without) wings (biting or non biting) and your city...

Adding the city sometimes helps as some places are prone to bugs that other cities aren't prone to. Once you have a match...go back to your search and type in the name + "killing BUG NAME" or "home remedies for removal of BUG NAME".

None of these are for the faint of stomach...but if you find a match...and a simple removal solution it could save you big bucks!

The second picture looks like a lice bug. Make sure you wash youre sheets and anything that lice could attach to. Also check your scalp for anything!!
