Bed bug

Found indoors in cracks and crevices near human sleeping areas, mattresses, and furniture.

Hematophagous parasite feeding exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal and highly secretive, emerging primarily at night to feed before retreating into dark hiding spots.

Causes itchy, irritating bites and psychological stress, but does not typically transmit vector-borne diseases.
