Bed Bug

Primarily indoors near sleeping areas such as mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and furniture crevices.

Obligate hematophages, meaning they feed exclusively on the blood of mammals, primarily humans.

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (nymphal stages).

A major household pest that causes itchy welts and psychological distress. While not known to transmit diseases, heavy infestations can cause anemia or allergic reactions.
