Bed Bug (Exuviae/Casing)

Indoor environments, specifically cracks and crevices near sleeping areas such as mattresses, bed frames, and furniture.

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

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis, shedding their exoskeleton (molting) five times before reaching maturity.

Risks include itchy skin rashes, psychological distress, and allergic reactions. They are not known to transmit diseases but are a significant pest nuisance.
