Hello, so we recently returned about a week ago from staying in a couple of hotels on vacation and found this bug in our bed yesterday. When squished it was a lot of red blood. It was about the size of a penny or the size of a thumbnail. People are telling me it cannot be a bed bug at that size, but it was that size...other people are telling me it\'s for sure a bed bug. No one in our house has bites and we had two different companies come inspect with zero signs of bed bugs. Any ideas, any guesses. Just want to find out what this thing is for 100% sure. Thank you!

(Added picture of my finger on same bedding for size reference)
