Bed bugs are minuscule insects that are scientifically named Cimex lectularius. You might be really curious how bed bugs look like. Unfortunately, your odds of getting face to face with bed bugs is really slim. You can only do that by looking at their pictures, which are published all throughout textbooks, magazines, and Internet sites.
Pictures of bed bugs that you can actually see in available sources are enlarged. Because bed bugs are so little, you can never truly look at their physical structure even if you hold them unto your palm. You might need to make use of a magnifying glass or several lenses just to take a rather unclear glimpse of bed bugs.
Description From Pictures
In a new unpublished review in the US, it is found that most people are scared of one kind of insect, or another, or all of them. To save you the embarrassment and awkward feeling, it is safe that you just take a look at pictures of bed bugs from accessible sources.
By just seeing at bed bugs pictures, you can see that these insects are typically flatted when viewed from top to bottom. It is this physical attribute that enables them to penetrate to the tiniest crevices or holes around. Additionally, the bed bugs have several colors. Most bed bugs appear deep brown. But there are some which also look white or creamy white.
Take a gander at pictures of bed bugs before and after they have consumed blood from their hosts. This way you can compare. Take note that bed bugs change color after they have been nourished.
>>Most bed bugs appear deep red or somehow almost black after they have consumed blood.
That is because the blood will by make up the majority of their body. Smashing bed bugs during these conditions of their lives will be by one way or another gross. Imagine squashing out blood from a balloon.
Somehow Scientific View
Pictures of bed bugs in encyclopedias and reference books additionally will give us a shot glimpse of their anatomy. The bed bug has a very complex skin type that is usually covered by a wax-like substance. This wax-like substance gives protection to the bed bug.
That structure will protect or prevent bed bugs from getting wet or from drying out. Since bed bugs are so tiny and their internal system is not that developed, exposure to air and light will surely dry out or dehydrate them, without the protective structure.
Looking at pictures will also help you understand how pesticides and insecticides work. Pesticides and insecticides usually come in the form of sprays. In these sprays are very tiny and powdered forms of glass and silica. These two materials are hard and will surely cut through any hard object in which they are forced to.
Powdered silica and glass will have to go with the spray. After the bed bugs are exposed to such spray, their defensive layers or structure will then be ruined or destroyed. Powder glass and silica do that. When the protective layer of the bed bug is ruined, harmful chemicals will get inside the skin and attack the internal system of the bed bug. Chemicals found in spray normally act out to dehydrate or dry out insects like bed bugs.
Large Bed Bugs
However, did you know that you have another alternative if you want to take a close look at bed bugs?
Because most bed bugs in your room are too excessively small, and pictures in textbooks can look and seem unrealistic, you can opt to capture an old, aging, and mature bed bug.
I hope that with this information you can identify bed bugs more easily. If you want to see images of bed bugs we recommend you visit the site bedbugspics.com where you will find a large encyclopedia of images of bed bugs in different stages of their life cycle.
