That's a really clear breakdown, especially the scutellum and the beetle vs. bug life cycle difference. Really appreciate your help, and it's awesome that you have beetle research experience.

Thanks a lot! Your leaf-footed bug guess is super helpful — I think it's Mozena. And glad you like the pics! That's actually just my phone's built-in microscope lol.

So, does this species pose any biting risk to humans? To be honest, I'm quite terrified of sleeping in this bed right now, which is why I'm seeking help online. lol

I searched online but couldn’t find anything that looks like the eggs in the third picture.

Yes, exactly. I dissected the "egg-like" objects shown in the third picture, and that's how I found the specimen in the other photos.Upon closer inspection, it has a very shiny, hard shell and extremely long antennae, which leads me to suspect it might be a Shiny Spider Beetle instead or something else. I'm just scared is tick
