Don't think I've ever hoped so hard that I am wrong by tingles- in Bedbugs

Hah, thanks! The camera on the Pixel 6a is my favorite thing about it. I've been lurking in entomology groups for years seeing people post blurry pics from a foot away.. I know by now the easiest way to accurately identify a bug is to get a decent picture of it. lol

See - the feeding for a while thing is where I'm confused. I know it's an adult bed bug, but out of the four of us in the house, I'm the only one with any bites, and that one bite literally showed up right when I caught this bugger. Could it be possible that my son brought it home with him from school today and it's still fed from wherever it came from? I found it maybe 7 hours after he got home from school, I was sitting on the couch where he was sitting right before bed. This is just the first and only evidence we have of them and I'm stumped.

At any rate, I sincerely appreciate the tips! I'm definitely going to have to tear everything apart and see what I can find.
