Bat bugs are blood-sucking insect parasites that feed primarily on the blood of bats. The name has been applied to members of the family ''Cimicidae'' (e.g. ''Cimex lectularius'', ''Afrocimex constrictus'') and also to members of the family ''Polyctenidae''. Bat bugs are closely related to bed bugs, and are so similar in appearance that they are often mistaken for bed bugs. Microscopic examination is needed to distinguish them. Bat bugs will also bite humans if given the opportunity. Bat bug species include: * African bat bug (''Afrocimex constrictus'') * Eastern Bat Bug (''Cimex adjunctus'') ==Anatomy== A key physiological distinction between the common bedbug and the bat bug is the fringe hairs on the pronotum (the upper covering of the thorax), which are at least as long as the width of the bat bug's eye, but shorter in the bedbug.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bat bug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
