Bed Bug

Typically found in cracks and crevices near sleeping areas, such as mattresses, box springs, and bed frames in human dwellings.

Obligate hematophagous (blood-feeders), primarily feeding on human blood during the night.

Nocturnal and elusive; they use heat and carbon dioxide to locate hosts, then hide in dark, secluded spots during the day to digest and reproduce.

While not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause allergic reactions, skin rashes, and significant psychological distress; they serve no benefit to human ecosystems.
