Bed bugs
The bed bug, Cimex lectularius (L), belongs to the Order Hemiptera. Hematophagous parasite (feeds on blood) attacks man, animals, domestic and wild birds, bats, rodents, and other warm-blooded species. It has an oval and flattened body and is 5 to 8 mm long, reddish-brown in color, with vestigial wings. Females reach a lay of up to 350 eggs during their lifetime. Nymphs hatch from the eggs being very similar to the adult, but smaller. The development cycle of bed bugs consists of five molts and, for each molt, they need to pre-feed on blood. After reaching their adult state and sexual maturity, they live for up to four months or more, achieving up to four generations in one year. They are not considered specific vectors of diseases, but their painless bite can cause irritation, itching and burning, a reaction that can last a week or more.
