Bed bug

Found indoors in mattress seams, furniture crevices, and dark cracks near sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that feed exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal and highly secretive, emerging primarily at night to pierce skin and feed before retreating to dark hiding spots.

Their bites cause itchy, irritated skin welts, and infestations can lead to severe psychological distress and secondary infections from scratching.
