A total of 409 bugs (158 adults and 251 juveniles) were counted in 47 nests, two months after the hosts had departed for the winter. Two regular avian visitors to the Colorado lected into 70% ethanol. Mites, ticks, spiders, River system in west central Colorado are the moths, and dermestids were included, but cliff swallow, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, and the most abundant species was Oeciacus vi- the barn swallow, Hirundo rustica. -

Bed Bugs Fact Sheet
Entomology, 1991 Kenny Road, Columbus, OH 43210 Susan C. Jones, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Entomology Extension Specialist, Household & Structural Pests ed bugs are parasites that preferentially feed on humans. If Bpeople arenʼt available, they instead will feed on other warm- blooded animals, including birds, rodents, bats, and pets. Bed bugs have been documented as pests since the 17th century. They were introduced into our country by the early colonists. Bed bugs were common in the United States prior to World War II, after which time widespread use of synthetic insecticides such as DDT greatly reduced their numbers. Improvements in household and personal cleanliness as well as increased regula- tion of the used furniture market also likely contributed to their reduced pest status. In the past decade, bed bugs have begun making a comeback across the United States, although they are not considered to be a major pest. The widespread use of baits rather than insecticide sprays for ant and cockroach control is a factor that has been implicated in their return. Bed bugs are blood feeders that do not Mature Bed Bug feed on ant and cockroach baits. International travel and commerce are thought to facilitate the spread of these insect hitchhikers, because eggs, young, and adult bed bugs are readily transported Order: Family—Hemiptera: Cimicidae in luggage, clothing, bedding, and furniture. Bed bugs can infest airplanes, ships, trains, and buses. Bed bugs are most frequently found in dwellings with a high rate of occupant turnover, such Common name Scientific name as hotels, motels, hostels, dormitories, shelters, apartment com- plexes, tenements, and prisons. -

Pearson 31st December 2016 iv ABSTRACT Every year billions of insects undertake long‐distance seasonal migrations, moving hundreds of tonnes of biomass across the globe and providing key ecological services. Yet we know very little about the complex migratory movements of these tiny animal migrants and less still about what causes their populations to fluctuate in space and time. Understanding the reason for these population level changes is important, especially for insect species that are agricultural pests and disease vectors. -
