No. The two species Cimex Cimicidae and Cimex Hemiptera just have what are called hemelytra. These are just very short fore wings and they do not give the bedbug any capability of flying. If a bedbug visits you for a meal while you are asleep in your bed they get to you by crawling along your sheet and then on to your body although you will not usually feel anything when they have a blood meal off you, even if you wake up, because they inject a kind of anaesthetic into you before they sip your blood. So the whole area goes numb. Only after the anaesthetic effect has worn off some time after the bedbugs departure off you into its hiding place, will you start to itch and then often feel the need to scratch the part of you where it has been for its meal off you.

Do water beetles bite humans like bedbugs?

No water beetles do not bite humans like bedbugs. Bedbugs are notorious for leaving itchy and irritating bites on humans and other animals when they feed on blood. On the other hand water beetles do not feed on blood and therefore do not bite humans.Water beetles are actually quite harmless to humans and other animals. They are usually found in bodies of water and they feed on plants and insects. Some of the common species of water beetles can even be kept as pets as they are relatively easy to take care of. The following are some of the ways you can distinguish water beetles from bedbugs: Water beetles are usually bigger than bedbugs ranging in size from 0.2 to 2.0 inches. Water beetles have long antennae while bedbugs do not. Water beetles have wings and can fly while bedbugs cannot.In conclusion water beetles are not known to bite humans like bedbugs do.
