![]() In some instances, booklice could fly too, a characteristic that bed bugs do not have. It is unique for having a segmented body meaning that its body and head are separate so this one differentiates them from bed bugs. They are 0.5 inches in size with a long, flat body shape. These pale-bodied, almost translucent bugs resemble termites more than bed bugs. They are also found where a stable source of food is present or around wood structures. Like roach nymphs, they are found in unsanitary places and they can make an infestation. Unlike bed bugs, spider beetles can fly but like bed bugs, they have heads that are attached to their bodies. They have slender and long antennae and their whole body is covered with bristled hairs. They are 0.5-1.5 inches in size and sports an oval shape. They have reddish-brown to black bodies and yellow or pale brown spots and legs. They are called as such because they look more like very small spiders than bed bugs. While it is not proven that they will bite on humans, some individual testimonials report anxiety and insomnia as an after-effect of the bite. The major concern is that they are known as bloodsuckers and when they run out of hosts where they come from, they could make it to your bed. Their natural niche would be caves or anywhere where bats are regularly seen. The good thing about bat bugs is that they will never make an infestation in the home because they cannot thrive in homes. ![]() The only difference between the two is that bat bugs have longer hairs by the antenna and bat bugs are just the size of apple seeds. They are as oval as bed bugs, as reddish-brown as bed bugs, and the same slender legs as bed bugs and do not fly even though they have underdeveloped wing pads, like bat bugs. If you pronounce bat bugs fast enough, they can sound like bed bugs but really, of all the other bugs that look like bed bugs, bat bugs have got to be the nearest look alike.
