Bed Bug (Nymph)

Domestic environments, specifically in cracks and crevices of beds, furniture, and luggage.

Obligate blood feeders, primarily targeting humans during the night.

Nocturnal and elusive; they undergo five nymphal stages (instars) and require a blood meal to molt at each stage.

Strictly an indoor pest; they cause itchy bites and psychological distress. While not known to transmit diseases, they are difficult and expensive to eradicate.
