You can click many of the bed bug photos below and you will be taken to the flickr page. Click all sizes and then large to get the best view.

If you think you are suffering from bed bug bites, or if you have seen a strange bug or other signs, the photos below will help you determine if you have them. (Remember also that other problems can look like bed bug bites, so be sure and rule those out. See this FAQ if you need help detecting bed bugs.)

Obviously, you might find the bugs themselves! They can look vastly different based on life stage (there are 5 nymph stages and one adult stage) and whether theyve fed recently or not. For reference, see the following bed bug life cycle image:

This bed bug life cycle photo from Stephen L. Doggett, posted with his permission, also shows the difference between the just-fed adult (top, elongated), and the not-just-fed adult next to it on the right:

Here are some amazing photos of bedbugs feeding, including adults and nymphs (from L. Sorkin and R. Mercurio.)

Unfed first instar nymph (approx. 1 mm or 1/32 long; taken by Sorkin and Mercurio, American Museum of Natural History):

After the bed bug bites someone and feeds for the first time, it turns red. This is the same first instar once it has fully fed (it will be larger now; taken by Sorkin and Mercurio, American Museum of Natural History):

Pictures of Bed Bugs and Non Toxic Solutions To Stop The …

Pictures of bed bugs could help you identify and even prevent the blood-fed pests from wrecking havoc in your place. But sadly, people often skip checking out what they really look like.

With just the rashes or bite marks they got, many are quick to decide which pest they have and need to get rid. And often, without even verifying if the assumed insect is indeed the cause of it, they would treat themselves and do a pest elimination with a product that they just deem is the best.

Now, what is wrong with that picture? A lot.

For one, the pest was not verified. The marks, they could be the bed bug bites or of other insects. If you go ahead and just assume things, you could use the wrong product for the pests and even the marks.

Bed bug bites and rashes actually look similar with other conditions and insect bites. Scabies, allergic reactions, chicken pox and mosquito bites are some examples of them. So if youll just base your diagnosis with the marks, there is a fat chance that youll get it wrong. And because, as said, that could lead you to the wrong bed bug bite treatment, you could worsen your condition.

Check out pictures of the bed bug bites in comparison with other insect bites and skin conditions.

Bed Bugs in Rental Housing | VaLegalAid.org – A guide to …

Virginia law does not specifically mention bed bugs. The law does not explicitly say whether landlords or tenants are responsible for getting rid of bed bugs. Virginia law does require all landlords to follow building and housing codes affecting health and safety, and to make all repairs needed to keep the place fit and habitable. Because bed bugs make rental housing not habitable, this means landlords are responsible for getting rid of bed bugs.

Under the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act (VRLTA), tenants must keep their rental units free from insects and pests. They also must promptly notify the landlord of the existence of any insects or pests. Notification of the landlord makes no sense unless the landlord also is responsible for getting rid of insects and pests, including bed bugs. If a tenant does not promptly report insects and pests, including bed bugs, the tenant could be responsible for the added cost of treatment due to the tenants delay in reporting.

Tenants covered by the VRLTA must promptly report insects and pests. Tenants not covered by the VRLTA should promptly report insects and pests. Tenants are covered by the VRLTA if they live in an apartment building or in multi-family housing. Multi-family housing means sharing heating, hot water, entry and exit, or some other service with another dwelling unit in the same building. Tenants also are covered if their landlord rents out more than ten single-family homes. In cities and in urban counties, tenants are covered if their landlord rents out more than four single-family homes.

A March 15, 2011 memo from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) suggests that responsibility for bed bug treatment lies with the landlord. Highlights of the March 15, 2011 memo include the following:

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can be transported to your home from literally any place and by anyone that has been in contact with the pest.

Bed bugs can be introduced to a property by simply hitchhiking on the clothing or belongings of residents or visitors.

Bed bugs could be introduced to a property by the landlord, landlords employees, maintenance personnel, contractors, vendors, government representatives, or anyone who has or had access to a property.
