Bed bug casings are the most frequently found evidence of bed bugs in areas that have been infested for several months. Bed bug casings are a result of molting as nymphs grow into adults. During a molt, the bed bugs will shed their skin and leave behind the empty shell with a hard exoskeleton. These cast skins are also known as exuviae. Some can be confused with other pests such as bat bugs. Bat bugs leave behind skins with a silky texture while bed bug shells tend to be flat and hard. Bedbug casings are the remnants of a dead bed bug. Bedbugs have exoskeletons which is a hard outer shell. The bug form molts in order to grow and this cuticle is called a shell. The molted shell will be discarded, dries out, becomes brittle and eventually falls off, leaving behind a small amount of blood in the empty casing.
Pictures Of Bed Bug Shells
Bed bug shell casings are unique among insect shells because of their shape and structure. The shell is made of a thin outer layer, which is fused to a thicker inner layer. This inner layer can be used for identifying the species, as well as determining whether or not the bed bug was alive when it died.
Bed bugs’ eggs are laid in batches, and then the female will cover them with a glue-like substance before placing them in cracks or crevices around the house. The eggs can be found in small clusters or individually, and they tend to be brownish-cream or white in coloration with an oval shape that resembles an apple seed.
Bed bugs have six legs (though these may be hard to see) and one antennae. Their bodies are flattened out and shaped like a shield with two distinct parts: a head and abdomen.
Bed bug shells are unique in that they have a distinctive shape and color. Their appearance is also very similar to that of a dog flea, which can be a good way to identify whether or not you have bed bugs.
Bed bug shells are very small and oval-shaped, with the size varying depending on the life stage of the bed bug. The shell can range from 1mm to 5mm in length, with its width being slightly smaller than its length.
The shell is white or tan in color and has a wavy pattern on it. It looks similar to the shell of an egg for chickens or quail. The color of the shell depends on what type of bedbug it comes from; this means that brown or red-brown shells are most common for adult females while black shells are most common for juvenile males or juveniles who have just molted their exoskeleton (shedding their outer skeleton).
The shell will be found around a blood source where there has been activity from a bed bug; this could include their hiding place or even the place where they mated!
