The common bed bug, cimex lectularius. The adult is approximately 4-5 mm in length, wingless and brown in colour. They have long well developed walking legs with claws for clinging on hosts during their feeding time. They are flat and oval in shape. The main evidence knowing that you have got bed bugs is not seeing the actual pest but finding small specks of blood of mattresses. They often hide in head boards and the cracks and crevices of mattresses, so a good inspection here is required. I would also recommend looking behind wallpaper which has slightly been raised. Its eggs are small, white/ yellow in colour and app. 1mm long.
