The technical term for a bed bug is a small nocturnal insect of the family Cimicidae that lives by hematophagy, or by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded hosts. In more simple terms it is a wingless, rust-colored insect about the size of an apple seed. Bed bugs are attracted by human body heat and they characteristically like feed on our shoulders and arms. Bed bugs typically feed for five to ten minutes at a time. As it fills with blood, its coloring changes from light brown to rust–red.
