Bed Bug (Egg Casings or Nymph Molts - Identification Uncertain/Unlikely)

Typically found indoors in cracks and crevices near sleeping areas, such as mattress seams, box springs, headboards, and furniture upholstery.

Hematophagous (feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, particularly humans).

They are nocturnal, hiding during the day in tight spaces and emerging at night to feed. They leave behind fecal spots, molted skins (exuviae), and pearly white eggs.

Risks: Their bites cause itching, allergic reactions, and sleep disturbance. They are difficult to eradicate and cause significant psychological distress. Benefits: None known in an urban environment.
