This creepy crawler was in my bed last night! What is it? (Washington, D.C.)

It's a scarab beetle; possibly this one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_beetle

Thanks. Should I be worried about some sort of infestation or do you think it’s a Lone Ranger? Also, do they bite ?

These are strict herbivores not in the habit of biting humans. However, some of these beetles can be quite destructive on plants, so keep a close watch on any flower beds/ornamental shrubbery you may have...
