- 5mm to 7mm long when they can feed on blood

- they have an oval shape and have thick legs

- the mouth is elongated to facilitate the sting

- they have a brown/red color

- They lay 200 to 500 eggs in two months and the female must feed before laying the eggs

- eggs can be found in cracks or attached to furniture items

- they can survive without food for a long time.
