Bed Bug (Engorged Nymph)

Indoor environments, specifically cracks and crevices near sleeping areas such as mattresses, box springs, and bed frames

Obligate hematophagous insects that feed exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult) and require a blood meal to molt to the next life stage.

Risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, insomnia, and psychological distress. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans but are significant household pests requiring professional treatment.
