Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius), each approximately 6 mm in size, scurrying over blanket in search of a human host. Bed bugs are drawn to humans by the carbon dioxide they exhale and their body heat. Bed bugs feed by injecting a sharp mouthpart called a stylet into the skin. The bed bug's saliva includes an anaesthetic which numbs the pain of its bite. Bed bugs have been notorious pests throughout history and are making a comeback in many cities throughout the world. They can survive for several months without food. | |
