Alex Wild’s amazing bed bug photos

Warning: not for anyone with a current bed bug infestation.

Check out Alex Wild’s amazing shots of bed bugs on the Myrmecos Blog, and in his photogallery.

I really like the one shown last on the blog, with the bed bug fighting its way through a host’s hair.

Cool shots.

I mean, gross!Similar Posts:

Bed rail frame, 2nd place I look for bed bugs.

The oblong white thing in the middle? A sticky note tells us it’s “a freshly hatched bed bug egg.”

New bed bug photo from Lou Sorkin

nobugsonme — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:27:14 +0000

Amazing new image from Lou Sorkin of the American Museum of Natural History:

Lou writes, in the photo description:

After feeding hundreds of bed bugs for around 10 minutes and watching many plump nymphs and adults crawl away from the top of the jar along the cardboard (inverted on my arm), I set the jar on the table and unscrewed the cover to see what happens to the rest of them.

They stay clumped like this for at least 10 minutes, and do not disperse even though I am not on the other side of the screen any longer. Some crawl over one another and appear to look for a better feeding position. Maybe there is a pheromone produced or maybe just a feeding frenzy behavior?

Thanks, once again, to Lou for sharing his knowledge and his amazing photos of bed bugs. And, of course, for his tireless efforts to educate the world about bed bugs, as evidenced in the comments here and here.

bed bug harborage inside a recessed screw hole

nobugsonme — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 04:06:42 +0000

bed bug harborage site

Originally uploaded by louento.pix
Lou Sorkin took this photo in a seriously infested home.

He describes it:

“Bed bug harborage site in recessed screw hole on side of textured, molded plastic desk chair. Opposite side of chair had no bed bugs in the screw hole.”

This is a helpful reminder to people that bed bugs will live in all kinds of furniture, not just wood or bed frames. And also, importantly, to check an entire item–only one side of the chair harbored bed bugs.

Thanks, Lou!
