Bed Bug

Commonly found in residential homes, hotels, and crowded spaces, especially in cracks, crevices, bed frames, and mattresses.

Obligate hematophages, primarily feeding on human blood, usually at night.

Nocturnal, elusive, and photophobic. They undergo hemimetabolous metamorphosis and can survive for months without a blood meal.

Risks include itchy skin rashes, allergic reactions, and psychological distress. They are not known to transmit diseases but are a significant nuisance pest.
