Common Bed Bug (Nymph/Egg fragments)

Indoor environments, specifically cracks and crevices near human sleeping areas like mattresses and bed frames.

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

Nocturnal parasites that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Significant public health pests causing itchy welts, allergic reactions, and psychological distress; they do not transmit diseases but are difficult and expensive to eradicate.
