Bed bugs
Bed bugs are wingless, reddish-brown in color, and as adults, are about 1/4 of an inch in length. Bed bugs appear oval and flattened from top to bottom. Bed bugs feed on human blood at night and hide in crack and crevices associated with sleeping areas during the day. The female lay about 200-500 eggs during her lifetime, usually in batches of 10-50 eggs. Nymphs require between 1-4 months to develop. They are capable to a long period of starvation; however, they must take blood at least 5 times before becoming adults. Bed bugs live up to about 1 year from the time hatch and can live up to 8 months without blood meal.
