What Do Bedbugs Look Like?

Bedbugs have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies. They are wingless and covered in small hairs that make their bodies appear to be striped.

Adults are brown in color, although their bodies redden after feeding. Full-grown bedbugs move slowly and measure between 1/8 and 3/16-inch, making them visible to humans.

Nymphs are approximately the size of the head of a pin and are white or gold until they feed. Their pale coloration acts to camouflage them against mattresses and light carpets. Nymphs are approximately the size of a single lentil or apple seed.
