Bed Bug

Primarily found in human dwellings, hidden in cracks, crevices, mattresses, and bed frames.

Obligate blood-feeders, primarily targeting humans but will feed on other warm-blooded animals.

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

Significant nuisance pest. Risks include itchy welts, allergic reactions, psychological distress, and potential secondary skin infections from scratching; they are not known to transmit diseases.
