Bed Bugs Bed Bugs are bugs that are native to Europe but were accidently introduced to the United States by early colonists from Europe. Bed Bugs do not quickly reproduce but are difficult to manage because of their large number and how destructive they are. Description There are about 90 different types of bed bugs that exist, so the size of them somewhat varies. Most adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed (0.18 inches to 4.5mm) in length. Adults have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies. They are wingless. Adults do have vestiges of wings called wing pads, but they do not fully develope functional wings. Adults are a brown color but redden after feeding. Bed bugs have 6 legs and 2 antennae. The bed bug’s name is true as it mainly
During the last decade, redbanded stink bug has emerged as a major stink bug pest species in Louisiana. The economic threat from redbanded stink bug is also rapidly increasing in the Mid-South and Southeastern region of the United States as it continues to expand its geographical range. Since redbanded stink bug is relatively new species in the existing sting bug complex, there is a lack of information about this pest compared to other stink bugs. One of the gaps in our present understanding is its potential spring hosts where its population can build up before migrating to soybean. Field observations have revealed that red banded stink bugs were present in high numbers on leguminous host like medic, clovers and vetch along rights-of-way, ditches
Vladimir Mayakovsky's “The Bedbug,” written in 1928-1929, appears to satirize the New Economic Policy. Mayakovsky separates his play into two acts to demonstrate two contrasting ideas, and the idea to stop the progressing bureaucracy from being a participant in the fight for communist power. In “The Bedbug,” Zoya Beryozkina is a working class woman who is rejected by Prisypkin; he abandons the working class world to marry a bourgeoisie woman in the effort to advance himself in society. After attempting suicide, Zoya seems to be quite fine fifty years later when they unfreeze Prisypkin from the past. The first half of the play ends with a tragic fire killing everyone in its presence, with one man unaccounted for. Ironically the only people to survive and advance are Zoya, the working class woman who attempts suicide in scene two, and the people who are associated with the working class. These two acts reflect the removal of the apparatchiks who took advantage of the resources supplied to them by the working class. This is demonstrated in scene one when

Fleas, well first of all what do you think of when you hear the word “fleas.” Fleas are small, bloodsucking, wingless insects that feed of blood of their host it could be the skin of a human or on other mammals but less often on birds. Fleas are very old, in fact a flea fossil was found in China. Scientists believe the fossil was 150 million years old and the fossil was 10 time bigger than a normal now a day flea because of the blood it sucked from the dinosaur it was on. But however the flea wasn’t able to jump because of its weight and its legs weren’t stable so that means that the flea only had to stay on that specific dinosaur.
