Bed Bug (Specimen Remains)

Indoor environments, specifically cracks and crevices near human sleeping areas such as mattresses, bed frames, and furniture.

Obligate blood-feeders, primarily consuming human blood but may bite other warm-blooded animals.

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

Risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, secondary skin infections from scratching, and psychological stress/insomnia. They are not known to transmit diseases to humans. There are no ecological benefits in human environments.
