Bed Bug

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

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

Nocturnal pests that 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 significant psychological distress or sleeplessness.
