The New Hotness

  • Bedbugs Redux

    Mary quite deliberately brought home a pair of bedbugs… even knowing what we went through, you cannot imagine how dead those things had to be. She doesn’t just want them dead, she wants them extinct.

    Anyhow.

    Some pix, atop a scale with 0.5 mm divisions:

    Bedbug - 4 mm - dorsal
    Bedbug – 4 mm – dorsal
    Bedbug - 4 mm - ventral
    Bedbug – 4 mm – ventral
    Bedbug - 6 mm - dorsal
    Bedbug – 6 mm – dorsal
    Bedbug - 6 mm - ventral
    Bedbug – 6 mm – ventral
    Bedbug - 6 mm - mouthparts
    Bedbug – 6 mm – mouthparts

    They were actually on load from Cornell’s Co-op lab, having recently been distinguished from bat bugs.
