Bed Bug

Primarily resides in human dwellings, specifically near sleeping areas such as mattresses, bed frames, and furniture crevices.

Obligate hematophagy; they feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, primarily humans.

Nocturnal parasites that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Direct risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, and psychological stress. While not known to transmit diseases, they are significant domestic pests.
