I found a few of these small bugs on my bed last night, I have no bites of any sort. They appear to walk fast and jump on occasion, but I have no animals so I doubt it's flees, can someone help identify? Sorry for quality of picture.

Image to blurry for an i.d. - If they jump, may be springtails (order Collembola) - harmless nuisance pests...

O.K. - Not a springtail, but a very tiny beetle. Very unlikely to be a pest...

Thanks! I've seen quite a few of them, any recommendations on how to remove of them?

I suggest just vacuuming them up as they appear; this does not look like any of the beetles that can become damaging household pests...
