Bed Bug (Crushed/Fragment)

Typically found in human dwellings, hidden in cracks, crevices, mattresses, bed frames, and furniture near sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophages (blood-feeders), primarily feeding on human blood, though they may bite other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal insects that emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult) and can survive for months without a meal.

Risks include itchy skin rashes, psychological distress, and allergic reactions to bites. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans but are considered a major urban pest. There are no known benefits to the ecosystem.
