Order Hemiptera (true bugs)
Family Cimicidae
These flat, reddish-brown pests can really ruin a good night is sleep! They run surprisingly fast, and hunt for sleeping animals and birds at night when they can not find you. If they do not find anything, well, that is OK: adults have been known to live for a year without food.
