Bed Bug

Crevices and cracks in human dwellings, typically near sleeping areas such as mattresses, bed frames, and headboards.

Obligate hematophages, primarily feeding on human blood, usually at night.

Nocturnal parasites that hide during the day. They have four life stages: egg, nymph (5 stages), and adult, requiring a blood meal to progress between each stage.

Risks include secondary skin infections from scratching, allergic reactions, and psychological distress/insomnia. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans.
