Bed Bug Feeding Behavior

Bed Bug Feeding Behavior is a biological process describing the nocturnal, hematophagous activity of Cimex lectularius whereby it locates, bites, and imbibes blood from a human host through specialized mouthparts, distinguished from other arthropod feeding behaviors by its obligatory reliance on blood meals for developmental progression and reproduction.
