Damn. They are not bed bugs nor is there a picture or
description of them on that other web site either. These
bloody things are solid black, about 1/4" long, and
look like wingless flies; they are always crawling. While most of the time they
have been found in a bedroom, there has
been a few in the kitchen or other parts of the house.
