Neck Tie - Cimex lectularius (bed bug)

ed bugs, bed-bugs, or bedbugs are parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood. Cimex lectularius, the common bed bug, is the best known as it prefers to feed on human blood. Other Cimex species specialize in other animals, e.g., bat bugs, such as Cimex pipistrelli (Europe), Cimex pilosellus (western US), and Cimex adjunctus (entire eastern US). The name "bed bug" derives from the preferred habitat of Cimex lectularius: warm houses and especially near or inside beds and bedding or other sleep areas. Bed bugs are mainly active at night, but are not exclusively nocturnal. They usually feed on their hosts without being noticed. There is no hiding this tie. You have to be ready for the comments and faces of horror. You know who you are! Enjoy this eye catcher and get the coffee mug too if this is your business or you are a biology teacher with a hardy sense of humor. Enjoy!
