Bed Bug (Crushed/Dead)

Found in indoor human environments, primarily in cracks and crevices in beds, furniture, headboards, and baseboards.

Obligate hematophages, feeding exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, preferring humans.

Nocturnal parasites that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo hemimetabolous metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult) requiring a blood meal to molt.

Risks: Secondary skin infections from itching, allergic reactions to bites, and significant psychological distress/insomnia. Benefits: None; they are considered a domestic nuisance pest.
