EDITORS COMMENTS
Who knew bedbugs had a taste for Italian cuisine? This daring Common Bedbug (Cimex lectularius) adult takes its bloodsucking skills to the next level as it indulges in some fine dining on human skin in sunny Italy. Talk about an adventurous palate! In this print captured by FLPA/Emanuele Biggi, we witness the intimate encounter between this European host and its tiny vampire-like visitor. With precision and determination, the bedbug expertly sinks its proboscis into the unsuspecting person's skin, satisfying its insatiable thirst for blood. While most of us would prefer not to be dinner guests for these pesky insects, there's something oddly fascinating about their parasitic nature. They may be small in size, but they sure know how to make their presence felt – especially during those warm summer months when they come out to play. So here's a toast to this audacious bedbug who dares to challenge our notion of traditional food pairings! Who needs spaghetti and meatballs when you can have a bite from an arthropod instead? Bon appétit!
