Don't Let The Bedbugs Bite

Mar 14, 2009 10:01

As promised, bedbugs!

Bedbugs, of the family Cimicidae, are small bloodsucking true bugs, found in warm and tropical areas worldwide, where they feed on birds, bats, and people. There aren't many of them, just 9 species, of which only two are known to go after humans. They're pretty easy to identify, too - the gigantic CSIRO books Insects of ( Read more... )

Excuse me while I go spray down my house, even though I don't think bedbugs come up here.

NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. D: D: D:

I'm pretty sure I've suffered PTSD from these fuckers leaving 40+ bites all over my body. I never want to see one again and I hope they all die out, the circle of life be damned.

I found one in bed once, it being the first time and I couldn't sleep for two days.

However.... male bedbugs also have false vaginas, and homosexual rape is frequent

Well, that's it. I don't think the internet can top this for me today.

HAHAHA. OH MY GOD.

The noise it makes is the best part about it.

I had a friend who didn't believe me when I told him that a turtle hissed at me the other day. WAIT UNTIL HE SEES THIS.

The 'comparison' of what bedbug mating techniques would be like in a human family was traumatic to read. @_@ Oh god. I'm having nightmares tonight.

You would think that maybe the females would've evolved some technique to karate chop the male's asses at this point. ^^; Whatever happened to females being the picky ones?

traumatic insemination is what the male bedbugs invented to bypass female choice. In retaliation, they came up with sperm-killing fake vaginas.

consortofvenus March 15 2009, 08:28:10 UTC

The way you put it, so hilarious. "SPERM KILLING FAKE VAGINAS".

Thanks for bringing back one of the most horrifying experiences of my childhood. D=

I both love and hate reading about parasites because they are probably one the most interesting things on the planet. Unfortunately they are also one of the most terrifying things on the planet. I probably WILL have nightmares tonight.
