Observation of bed bugs with the help of naked eyes is possible; they measure about the size of the seed of an apple. They have got brown colour that can be turned to reddish brown colour when they consume food. Nymphs and non adult bed bugs are exception to this as they have got either whitish or gold colour. Flat tops and oval shaped body are enough for their descriptions. They require blood of host and their semi transparent bodies reflect dark patches of red colour which is the indication of their blood sucking habits. They are unable to fly as they do not have wings to do the same. They target crevices or small cracks for hide out.
Cimex lectularius is the scientific name of that insect who seeks human bodies for blood sucking. The population of bed bugs is accentuating day by day.

There is a need to observe bedrooms and begs very carefully as bed bugs may reside there.
