Lou Sorkin (loubugs on our forums) helpfully challenges this idea once and for all with an amazing visual comparison.

Check it out in the latest Bedbugger blog post.

I meant to note in my post that the female bed bug under an apple seed (middle, right side) is praying that the "large male" on her has a short paramere. Cimex humor.

OMG - can you imagine if a bug the size of an apple seed bit you? You'd need stitches. Once I did find an actual apple seed in my bed - no idea how it got there it must have been clinging to my foot from the kitchen. Heart palpitations......

Come on guys this is silly, a bed bug looks more like an apple seed than any other insect. Its a great way of describing them over the phone. Some people have too much time on their hands....

I would suggest we continue discussion of this on the blog post, since there are two conversations developing, and one of them is under the actual photo being discussed. (Note, you can use your forum login on the blog also.)
