Bed bugs are on the rise, and people are worried. Check out this Google search volume over the past few years:













For those of you who haven't been afflicted with them (like me), here's what they look like. Though they can get to be the size of an apple seed, below is a young nymph out exploring the new world of the photographer's skin. So much to look forward to, little parasite. So many uncharted patches of human flesh to explore and feed off of.

Thanks for the link, Moneca.

If you really want to see the ugly side of these little creatures, just google "traumatic insemination".
