I found this on my pillow and now I'm super freaked out. Can someone help me figure out what this is?

It looks like some type of small weevil. Have you seen any in your kitchen or pantry? It could be a flour weevil. Just vacuum your house well, and check food items like rice, flour, pasta, dried beans, etc. If you find any there, throw away any foods that are contaminated, and wipe down cabinets with either a bleach and water mix or white distilled vinegar. Most weevils are harmless !!!
Good luck.
You are fine and don't panic just yet. This is not a bed bug if that was what you were thinking. This looks like a flour weevil that you can get in flour from the store. I see these a lot here and you need to be careful because they can really multiply rather quickly. I would check your kitchen and other areas in your home to see if you find more of these.
This is Curculionidae - better known as a Snout Beetle. It is one of many species in the weevil family. They are are plant feeders and will take over a garden or indoor plants.
