Bed bug

Found indoors in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture cracks, and dark crevices near sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophage feeding exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal parasites that emerge primarily at night to pierce skin, feed for several minutes, and retreat to hidden harborages.

Cause itchy, irritating bites and psychological distress; they provide no ecological benefits to humans.
