Bed Bug (Egg)

Inhabits human dwellings, specifically tucked into cracks, crevices, mattress seams, and headboards near sleeping areas.

As eggs, they do not feed; upon hatching, nymphs and adults are hematophagous, feeding exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

Eggs are laid by females in clusters and glued to surfaces with a sticky substance. They typically hatch in 6 to 10 days. The presence of eggs indicates an active, breeding infestation.

Risks include physical discomfort from bites, allergic reactions, secondary skin infections from scratching, and psychological distress/insomnia. They are considered a significant public health pest, though they are not known to transmit diseases to humans.
