Bed bugs lay eggs that are 1/25" long and are slightly curved. They are usually deposited in clusters. They are fastened with cement to cracks and crevices or rough surfaces near adult harborages. The eggs hatch in 4-12 days. The newly hatched nymph is straw colored before feeding. After getting a blood meal, the nymph turns red or purple in color because of the blood in its body. There are 5 nymph stages, and it usually takes 35-48 days for nymphs to mature. Female bed bugs deposit 3 to 8 eggs at a time. A total of 200-500 eggs can be produced per female. The eggs hatch in 4-12 days. Adult bed bugs can survive for 6-7 months without a blood meal and have been known to live in abandoned houses for 1 year. In some cases they survive without humans by attacking birds and rodents.
