According to Wikipedia, there are about 200 different species of bedbugs were identified till today . Bedbugs are small bloodsucking insects that feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. They live within cracks and crevices around the host’s home which includes furniture, floors and walls. This is a macro photograph of a bed bug under a microscope. The clean white pin-stripe lines of the background represent an important part of the process where I line my glass slides with vaseline to prevent any unwanted dirt from getting on my slides and contaminating my samples. I then use three drops of water on one side, which allow for air bubbles to rise up and out so that they do not stay underneath the covers of the slide. This step effectively makes it so that when I put my sample down it does not leave any marks from their feet or mouthparts on top of my slide causing me to have to start all over again

Bed Bug Under A Microscope

Introduction

The bed bug is a small insect that feeds on the blood of mammals and birds. Bed bugs and their relatives have evolved as nest parasites, inhabiting the nests of birds and bats and other crates. In the absence of their normal hosts, bed bugs have adapted well to living with humans in close association with our beds and bedding.

Appearance

Bed bugs are flat, oval-shaped insects that are about the size of an apple seed. They are brown but may turn reddish-brown after feeding on blood. Bed bugs have six legs (like all insects) and no wings so they cannot fly or jump like fleas do. Their long antennae help them locate sources of food (namely humans).

The mouth parts of bedbugs are unusual in that they have sickle-shaped jaws or “beaks.” These beaks can pierce human skin easily, allowing for access to blood vessels where they feed and reproduce.

Where do they live?

The bed bug can be found in beds, furniture and other items that are close to the ground. They may also be found in laundry rooms and other rooms of a home. They can be found in hotels where people have stayed, as well as other places where many people sleep.

How much do they eat?

Here’s a list of common questions about bed bugs:

• How much do they eat? They feed every 5-10 days. If a female has access to blood, she can lay eggs every day for up to two months after feeding.
• How long do they live without food? They can survive for months without feeding, but this is very rare in homes with ongoing infestations. Bed bugs often go years without feeding when living in apartments or hotels where there is no regular turnover of residents and guests who are potential hosts. In these situations, the insects have time to reproduce before the next meal comes along!
• What do they eat? Blood! Bedbugs only feed on blood—no matter how hungry they get during those few days between meals, their hunger will never override their need for human blood (or other mammals). A single bed bug can drink multiple times its body weight in one sitting if given enough opportunity — but even if you don’t see any sign that your little friend has been around lately (i.e., bites), it’s still possible that he could be hiding somewhere nearby waiting patiently for his next meal ticket

Bed bug bites

Bed bug bites are not always painful, but they can be itchy. The bites may appear as raised red welts that take on a swollen appearance and feel like sandpaper (see above). Bites vary in size and can range from 1 mm to 10 mm depending on the insect’s size.

The most common location for bed bug bites is the face, neck, hands and arms; however they may occur anywhere on the body. Small children may have multiple bite sites while adults will often have only one or two bites per night due to their larger body surface area relative to children. Bed bugs do not feed all of the time which makes detection difficult if you don’t look for evidence of their presence each night before going to bed..

Behaviour

Bed bugs are nocturnal. They prefer to come out after dark, when their prey is asleep.

They are attracted to carbon dioxide. Bedbugs use this as a way of finding their victims and finding other bedbugs.

They are attracted to body heat as well as movement, which makes sense because that’s how they find you when sleeping at night! If you move around in your sleep (and who doesn’t?), then the bedbugs will follow you until they find something tasty (you). This can happen right before dawn, when everyone else is waking up but not yet moving around much! The best way to avoid this fate is by making sure you don’t move too much while sleeping or waking up on your own–otherwise it’ll make it easier for them get closer without being detected first…

How do they die?

A bed bug doesn’t die quickly, but it does have a short life. Bed bugs survive up to 12 months without feeding, and they can live for up to 18 months when they do feed.

When they are exposed to high temperatures over 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius), bed bugs will die in less than an hour. At room temperature or lower, it takes about 100 hours for them to die from the heat alone.

A new epidemic in the 21st century

It is an unfortunate fact that bed bugs have become a common problem in the 21st century. This resurgence over such a short period of time has caught many people off guard. The modern world has come to expect its solutions to be quick and simple, and when they are not, it can be frustrating. However, there are ways to treat bed bugs if you know how to use them correctly.

The most important thing you need to know about getting rid of these insects is that they are hardy little creatures who require special care when dealing with them. While there are many different chemicals available for use against these pests, most people find it easier just to throw out their mattress or box spring than spend hours trying (and likely failing) at killing every last one of them with pesticides.

Bed bugs can be treated. If you’re dealing with a bed bug infestation, you should call an exterminator immediately.

Bed bugs are not limited to hotels and motels. They can be found anywhere humans live, work and play. They are not limited to beds and mattresses. Bed bugs can be found in couches, chairs, carpets and other furniture—anywhere they can hide during the day. And because they’re nocturnal feeders—feeding on you while you sleep—you won’t know they are there until they bite you while sleeping or resting in your home or workplace.

Conclusion

Bed bugs have been around for centuries. They’ve survived because they are hard to detect and they can survive without feeding for up to a year. They are also good at hiding in tiny cracks and crevices so when you do find them, there’s likely many more that you haven’t seen yet! The best way to prevent bed bug infestations is by vacuuming often. If you do get bitten by these pests, it’s important to call an exterminator ASAP as they will spread quickly throughout your home if left unchecked.
