Bed bug. Bed bugs are parasitic insects from the genus Cimex, who are micropredators that feed on blood, usually at night. [7] Their bites can result in a number of health impacts, including skin rashes, psychological effects, and allergic symptoms. [5] Bed bug bites may lead to skin changes ranging from small areas of redness to prominent ...

Linnaeus, 1758. Adult. Cimex lectularius, or the common bed bug, is a species of Cimicidae. Its primary hosts are humans, and it is one of the world's major "nuisance pests." Although bed bugs can be infected with at least 28 human pathogens, no studies have found that the insects are capable of transmitting any of these to humans. [1]
Genus Primicimex. The Cimicidae are a family of small parasitic bugs that feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. They are called cimicids or, loosely, bed bugs, though the latter term properly refers to the most well-known member of the family, Cimex lectularius, the common bed bug and its tropical relation Cimex hemipterus.

The bed bug, Cimex lectularius, is an external parasite of humans. It lives in bedding and is mainly active at night, feeding on human blood, generally without being noticed. [93] [94] Bed bugs mate by traumatic insemination; the male pierces the female's abdomen and injects his sperm into a secondary genital structure, the spermalege.
A 2023 study by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) found that 11% of French households were infested with bedbugs between 2017 and 2022 — up from ...
The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. As hemipterans, they possess a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. [1] The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families (16 extant and 5 extinct). [2][3] Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs ...
Heteroptera. The Heteroptera are a group of about 40,000 species of insects in the order Hemiptera. They are sometimes called "true bugs", [1] though that name more commonly refers to the Hemiptera as a whole. "Typical bugs" might be used as a more unequivocal alternative, since the heteropterans are most consistently and universally termed ...
