Identifying an Oval Shaped Black Bug?

An oval black bug on a red background.I found this on my comforter this morning and am not sure what kind of bug this is and whether this is harmful or just a normal bug due to the summer. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have been getting bit for the past two days and I didnt know why I thought sense we have animals they might have flees but normally even if they do I never get bit by them this morning I felt something on my neck so I scratched it and one of these bugs was on my neck I killed it but I still have no idea what it is but the bites are not as itchy as mosquito bites so Im not that concerned but still would like to know what the hell they are

Looks like one of the many black beetles but difficult to tell exactly which one. Sometimes takes a real 'bug expert' to tell the real name.

You do not say if you are in the US but most of this type can be found all over the world but there are some that are more prevalent in different countries.

The US has county extension offices that help identify bugs in each area and also give advice on how to remove them from your home.

ask.extension.org/

The main thing to do is to watch for others so you will know that you have to start a clearing/killing project.
