Hi all,
I'm hoping for an ID please - found on bedsheets, and quite hoping it isn't a bed bug!  Any help gratefully appreciated   |

Hi and welcome to the WAB forums.
It looks a little like ones i have found in my house recently, Golden Spider Beetle, not sure why they would be in your bed though .
When one of the Beetle experts looks at it, they will come up with a positive ID i`m sure ... |

I think you have something from the genus Ptinus, something along the lines of the Australian Spider Beetle ( Ptinus tectus)?
I recently found a load of them dead in my bathroom light fiting, which has a Starlings nest directly above...more info here. Australian Spider Beetle | | |
