This is a booklouse. Several bedbuggers have mistaken them for bed bug nymphs. Notice the shape of the body is elongated, with three clear segments. There’s a pronounced head.
Compare this photo from L. Sorkin and R. Mercurio of a bed bug nymph:
Both are light colored but the bed bug nymph has a less elongated body. It doesn’t look like it has a neck, whereas the booklouse does. The bed bug nymph is clear but will become red when it has fed. Thanks to reader DJR for sharing this book louse photo.

I say yes, especially if you live in Greenpoint. Greenpointers and their Williamsburg neighbors are seriously bedbugged.
So, Miss Heather of newyorkshitty.com and her friend Ann Kansfield (the Co-Pastor of the Greenpoint Reformed Church) worked together and got HPD to agree to come to Greenpoint. So far,...

Lots of press abounding on the busy bed bug dogs at Advanced k9, based in Connecticut. There have been a number of other articles this week along the same lines.
