Not a bug (likely dry skin or debris)

Natural Habitat

Typically found indoors on furniture, fabrics, or floors

Diet & Feeding

Does not eat; inanimate biological debris

Behavior Patterns

Stationary; these objects are inanimate. They resemble flakes of desquamated human skin (dandruff or peeling skin from feet/hands) or possibly dried adhesive material rather than an insect or insect part.

Risks & Benefits

No risks; harmless debris. Often mistaken for mites (scabies) or lice debris by concerned individuals, but lacks the anatomical structure (legs, head, body segments) of a living organism.
