Bed Bug (Egg or Nymph Stage)

Found in human dwellings, typically hidden in mattress seams, bed frames, and furniture near sleeping areas.

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

Nocturnal and elusive; they emerge at night to feed and hide in cracks and crevices during the day. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis with five nymphal stages.

They are major indoor pests that cause itchy welts and psychological distress. While not known to transmit diseases, heavy infestations can lead to anemia or secondary skin infections.
