Bed Bug

Found in cracks and crevices in residential and commercial buildings, especially in or near human sleeping areas like mattresses and bed frames.

Obligate blood-feeders, primarily consuming human blood but sometimes feeding on other warm-blooded animals.

Mainly nocturnal; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Risks include itchy bites, allergic reactions, secondary skin infections from scratching, and psychological stress. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans.
