Bed bugs are the common name for Cimex lectularius, which is the most common species of parasitic insect in the family Cimicidae. The best way to identify a bedbug infestation is by seeing one of these small brownish insects. Bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed, and are oval in shape. They have six legs and can be up to 4 mm long when they’re fully grown. Bed bugs are small and flat, about the size of an apple seed when fully grown. They typically have flattened bodies and grow to about 1/4 – 3/8 inch long (6.1 mm). Adult bed bug’s color ranges from mahogany to a rusty reddish brown, with their bellies being more translucent. The size of fleas and bed bugs is measured in millimeters. The image to the left compares the sizes of a flea and a bed bug. As you can see, the bed bug is significantly larger in size. That’s because fleas don’t bite humans and aren’t interested in us, but unfortunately for us — bed bugs do bite.

The flea and the bed bug are two of the most common pests that can be found in homes. Both pests live on the blood of humans or animals, so they are commonly found in areas where there are people or animals. The flea and bed bug can both live in homes, but they prefer different types of environments.
The flea is an insect that has a flattened body, while the bed bug is wingless and has a rounder body. Both pests have long antennae, but they differ in color. The flea is grayish brown with dark spots, while the bed bug is a reddish brown color with no spots.
The most important difference between these two pests is how they feed on their hosts. Fleas feed on blood from their host’s skin, while bed bugs feed on blood from their host’s body tissues.
The flea is a small, wingless insect that feeds on the blood of mammals, including humans. It has been known to transmit disease organisms, such as plague and typhus, to humans. The bed bug is a parasite that feeds on human blood. Bed bugs are parasitic insects that live in and around the homes of humans.
Both the flea and the bed bug are annoying pests that can cause itching, redness, and other symptoms in humans when they bite. However, these two pests are not related. The flea is an external parasite that lives on its host and feeds by sucking blood through its piercing mouthparts; whereas the bed bug is an internal parasite that lives inside its host by feeding off their blood through its sharp proboscis or beak-like mouthparts.
The flea retains its legs throughout its life cycle while the bed bug loses them after each molt stage until they become adults.
