Bed Bug (Fecal Spotting)

Found in human dwellings, typically in cracks and crevices, bed frames, mattresses, and furniture within close proximity to a host.

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

Nocturnal pests that hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They leave behind digested blood spots (fecal matter) on bedding or skin after feeding.

Risks include itchy allergic reactions to bites, sleep deprivation, and secondary skin infections from scratching; they do not typically transmit diseases. There are no ecological benefits to humans.
