I found this thin brown bug crawling on my bed. I've had bed bugs before, but I feel like this is too big to be a bed bug. I found a second one crawling on the carpet a few minutes later. These are the best images I could get of it.

It is some kind of a carpet beetle.
that is defo not bedbug, not even in its unfed state. I can't tell how big it is.
Honestly it almost looks like a termite to me
does it bite? does it fly? These and other questions can help you identify it www.raid.com/
It is a carpet beetle and they feed on various fabrics in the home including carpet. To rid yourself of them, vacuum the carpet well and sprinkle powder boric acid lightly over carpet. If you have pets, keep them out of that room. Leave the boric acid sit a few hours and vacuum again.
Carpet beetles also can get into food where the female lays her eggs. Keep certain foods (ex. cereal) in containers with lids.
Spray a liquid pesticide around windows/doors/vents where entry is gained and they do fly and can also live in furniture. Check stored clothing, dark places, etc. where beetles tend to dwell.
