Dorsal view of male bed bug, approximately 6mm in size and identifiable by its narrow abdomen, gorging itself with human blood. Air bubbles can be seen in its blood-filled abdomen. 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. | |
