In this photo released from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, bedbug specimens are seen in a laboratory at UF’s Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center – Thursday, Nov. 9, 2006. Known scientifically as Cimex lectalarius, the blood-sucking insects are well-adapted to human environments; in the past decade they have become a more significant pest problem in the United States.
