Bed Bug

Primarily human dwellings, hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, and cracks near sleeping areas.

Obligate blood-feeders, primarily targeting humans during the night.

Nocturnal, elusive, and photophobic; they undergo incomplete metamorphosis (nymphs to adults) and can survive months without feeding.

A significant household pest that causes itchy welts and psychological distress; however, they are not known to transmit diseases to humans.
