Bed Bug (Nymph/Adult)

Indoor environments, specifically cracks and crevices in beds, furniture, and walls near sleeping areas.

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

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

Risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, insomnia, and psychological distress. While they do not transmit diseases, they are significant domestic pests.
