Honestly, great job on the picture!

[u/3six5 → u/cyclon3]

I support this comment.

[u/Strange_Brilliant780 → u/cyclon3]

Thanks I took many to be sure I got clear ones at different angles since I didn’t know what specifically to look for haha

[u/1gal_man]

very bedbug looking aphid, I think I see cornicles

[u/UnderwateredFish]

The head shape is completely different from a bedbug. Looks aphid like to me.

[u/BlackSeranna → u/UnderwateredFish]

The long antennae made me rethink bedbug. I am glad it’s an aphid! Although, to a plant, no less serious.

[u/UnderwateredFish → u/BlackSeranna]

I definitely would have thought bedbug too at first, the body color and shape is convincing

[u/BlackSeranna → u/UnderwateredFish]

It definitely freaked me out!

[u/lemonlimespaceship]

I’ve never seen an aphid so well disguised as a bedbug. Sneaky.

[u/IsSecretlyABird]

Some kind of aphid

[u/IsSecretlyABird → u/[deleted]]

lol nice try buddy

[u/nartistic]

It’s an aphid. Completely harmless

[u/bugglyfuggler]

This is crazy bro you dodged a bullet, the relevance is uncanny
I think it’s maybe some sort of Chaitophorini aphid

[u/Individual-Mall-6914]

Thats jeff

[u/intuitive_tea]

This looks like this might be a bedbug nymph… not an expert but I think it’s worth getting a second opinion maybe on r/bedbugs

[u/IsSecretlyABird → u/intuitive_tea]

It’s not. They posted it in the bedbug advice sub and got the same response

[u/FlowerDance2557 → u/intuitive_tea]

the color and shape is certainly very bedbug like, but anything with antennae is automatically not a bedbug

[u/intuitive_tea → u/FlowerDance2557]

[u/FlowerDance2557 → u/intuitive_tea]

guess I misremembered

[u/intuitive_tea → u/FlowerDance2557]

But bedbugs have antennas?

[u/WyattPurp23]

Woif

[u/CantingMonk]

May not have found it on a bed. But I think it's exactly what you don't want it to be.

[u/Pixichixi → u/CantingMonk]

If it is a bedbug, found on a hoodie could have come from sitting on a chair or public transportation. I would definitely inspect my clothes and belongings before entering my home to be safe

[u/IsSecretlyABird → u/CantingMonk]

No, it’s not

[u/CantingMonk → u/IsSecretlyABird]

Holy shit is that an aphid then? Sorry OP I'm apparently incorrect.

[u/onedanoneband]

Looks like a bedbug. Definitely check with r/bedbugs
