Bed Bug (Nymph/Egg remnant)

Found in human dwellings, specifically in bed frames, mattresses, cracks, and crevices near sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophages, meaning 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, nymphal stages, adult).

Risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, and psychological distress/insomnia. They are not known to transmit diseases but are significant household pests.
