Bed bug (likely nymph)

Primarily indoors, hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, upholstered furniture, cracks, and clothing. They are associated with sleeping areas and human dwellings.

Feeds exclusively on blood, chiefly from humans but sometimes other warm-blooded animals. It usually feeds at night and may become reddish after a meal.

Nocturnal, wingless, and secretive; it hides during daylight and can survive months without feeding. Females lay eggs in protected crevices, and infestations spread through luggage, clothing, furniture, and nearby rooms.

Bites cause itchy, inflamed welts and can trigger allergic reactions, though bed bugs are not established disease vectors. They provide no meaningful household or ecological benefit.
