Bed bug

Found exclusively indoors, primarily inside mattresses, box springs, cracks, and crevices near sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophage, feeding exclusively on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal and highly secretive, emerging mainly at night to pierce skin and feed before retreating to dark hiding spots.

Do not transmit diseases, but their bites cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and severe psychological distress.
