Bed Bug

Human dwellings, primarily in mattresses, bed frames, cracks in walls, and furniture near sleeping areas.

Obligate blood feeders, primarily feeding on the blood of humans and occasionally other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal insects that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis with five nymphal stages, each requiring a blood meal to molt.

They do not transmit diseases but their bites cause itching, allergic reactions, and psychological distress. They are considered a significant urban pest requiring professional eradication.
