Bed Bug (Nymph/Hatchling)

Indoor environments, specifically within human sleeping areas, including mattresses, bed frames, furniture, and wall crevices.

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

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide in dark cracks during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo five nymphal stages, requiring a blood meal to molt into the next stage.

Risks include itchy allergic reactions to bites, skin infections from scratching, and significant psychological distress or insomnia. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans.
