Found this little critter on my sofa just a bit ago. Noticed it when I got up and apparently had been sitting on it. Fairly sure it's a bed bug but wanted some verification.
Have no history of bites or sightings of any other bed bug-like insects. I tore apart both the sofa and my bed. Flipped the sofa and mattress. Scrutinized every nook and cranny of my bed frame but found no other evidence of bugs (shells, feces, blood stains on sheets, etc).

I'd just gotten home when I found the one on the couch. Could it have hitchhiked in on my jeans? Obviously I'll be vigilant for any other evidence of bugs. Should I consult a PCO now or wait for more data? If so, can anyone recommend a good company in the Twin Cities area?
Thanks for any help or advice.
