Bed Bug Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5213
The Bed Bug Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, a wingless nocturnal ectoparasite that feeds on human blood. Designed for zoology and entomology laboratories, this bed bug teaching model illustrates the external anatomy of an insect frequently discussed in household pest and public health education.
The bed bug has a flattened, oval, reddish-brown body that becomes more rounded and darker after feeding on blood. It is wingless and undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, passing through an egg stage and five nymphal instars before reaching adulthood, with each nymphal stage requiring a blood meal to molt to the next. Bed bugs are nocturnal, hiding during the day in cracks, crevices, mattress seams and furniture joints, and emerging at night to feed on sleeping hosts. While not established as a vector of disease, their bites can cause itching, skin welts and allergic reactions. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents its anatomy clearly for classroom study.
