Bed Bug

Indoor environments, primarily in cracks and crevices near sleeping areas, such as mattresses, bed frames, and upholstered furniture.

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

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis with five nymphal stages, each requiring a blood meal to molt.

While not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause allergic reactions, skin rashes, and psychological distress. They are difficult and expensive to eradicate from homes.
