Bug ID request, mh (---) 

Just caught this in my living room, and I'm afraid to ask, but can anyone help me ID this bug?

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm let me just pop the roo and store in a corner..

anyway if you could throw the full size pics on Dropbox or something it'd help

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm but it looks like it has 8 legs? so not a tick or anything likely to harm you.

OH MY GOD IT HAS 8 LEGS

Oh sweet christ, I was worried it was a bed bug, but they have SIX legs. At least that is a HUGE relief, my goodness, THANK YOU.

@Phorm definitely not one of those no! I did brain fart - ticks have ,8 legs- but I don't think it's one anyway

Definitely 8 legs... I was also thinking tick, loosely judging by the size of the text I can see... ABSOLUTELY not a bed bug.

Oh I'm so relieved - At least, if it's not a bedbug, I don't have to worry about a relapse on that - And I don't have to burn everything in my living room.

Thank you ever so much.
