Bed Bug (nymph/egg case remnant)

Found in human dwellings, typically hidden in mattress seams, bed frames, and furniture cracks near sleeping areas.

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

Nocturnal and elusive; they use CO2 and body heat to locate hosts. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, five nymphal stages, and adult).

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