Best Answer

yes because it has no backbone

To understand scientific classifications on whether or not an organism is a vertebrate (backbone) or invertebrate (no backbone) look at the phylum classification of an organism.

Phylum: chordata (vertebrates) anything else invertebrates

A bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is classified as phylum arthropoda, which is not chordata, therefore, it is an invertebrate. One can search bed bug classification in a search engine and look for the phylum class.

Looking up the organism, Homo sapiens(humans), we find they are classified as a chordata in the phylum classification.
