Bed bug (likely a crushed or dried specimen)

Indoors, hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, and cracks near sleeping areas.

Feeds on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals, usually at night.

Hides during the day and emerges to feed; females lay eggs in protected crevices. The remains shown are too damaged for definitive identification.

Bites can cause itchy skin reactions and infestations are difficult to eliminate; bed bugs are not known to transmit disease.
