Bat or Bed Bug? - Cimex

Bat or Bed Bug? - Cimex
Marietta, Washington County, Ohio, USA
September 14, 2012
Size: 4.5mm
This was brought to me by the city health department. Given the length of the hairs on the pronotum, I'm thinking bat bug as opposed to bed bug, but I haven't looked at either for over 25 years and would appreciate some expert help. The scale in the background is in millimeters.
