Bed bug. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a bed bug, Cimex lectularius on a woven fabric. The head has a pair of compound eyes with small facets, two antennae, and piercing mouthparts. It has a broad, flat, body devoid of wings and six walking legs. A regular diet of blood is necessary for bed bugs to reach maturity. A parasite of humans, this species feeds at night and after a blood meal the body becomes quite swollen. The bite of a bed bug produces swellings on the skin. It is painful and may be lasting in some cases. During the day the bed bug lives in mattresses, floors, or in tears in furniture. Magnification: x10 at 5x7cm size. x23 at 6x4ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a bed bug, Cimex lectularius, captured through a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals the bug's fascinating anatomy, including its compound eyes with numerous facets, two antennae, and piercing mouthparts. With a broad and flat body devoid of wings but equipped with six walking legs, this species heavily relies on blood as its primary source of sustenance to reach maturity. As a notorious parasite of humans, bed bugs feed predominantly at night. After indulging in a blood meal, their bodies become visibly swollen. Unfortunately for their human hosts, these bites can cause painful swellings on the skin that may persist over time. During daylight hours, bed bugs seek refuge in various hiding spots such as mattresses or even tears in furniture. The magnified view provided by this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable complexity within this seemingly small creature. It serves as an important reminder of the diverse wildlife that coexists alongside us and highlights the significance of understanding these often overlooked invertebrates like Cimex lectularius.
