Bed Bug

Domestic environments, specifically in cracks, crevices, bed frames, and furniture upholstery.

Obligate hematophagy; they feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, primarily humans.

Nocturnal parasites that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Significant public health pest; bites cause itching, allergic reactions, and psychological distress. They are not known to transmit diseases but cause major economic impact due to infestation.
