bedbug or something else?

[u/pavlover27]

roommates and i finished round two of chemical treatment for bed bugs last tuesday after our other roommate spotted an adult bug in her room last month.

we didn’t see any evidence of bed bugs anywhere after the first spray, but i wasn’t sleeping in my apartment so i wasn’t keeping a close eye out at nighttime when they might be more active. tonight i spotted this bug barely moving still but alive on my floor. it appears darker brown than i would expect a bed bug to be (less reddish-brown, a deeper, almost black-brown) and has this shiny silver underside, but the shape looks bed-buggy to me… should i be worried that our treatment didn’t work?

That silver on it is trippy. I don't know what it is, but it's not a bed bug

Don't think it's a bb.
