Are the kissing bug and the bED bug are the same?
No they are from different insect families. The bedbug is from the Cimicadae family, kissing bugs are of the insect family Triatominae. Bedbugs are attracted to make their home in or near somebody's bed by detecting the CO2 breath of the person asleep. They are called bedbugs because they are normally found in or near a bed and because they bite the occupant of that bed when he or she is asleep in it. They are becoming increasingly common all over the world. Kissing bugs are only found in certain countries and are very much rarer, and their bite is even more unpleasant than a bedbug's bite. They are called kissing bugs because they only seem to bite people on their face, where somebody kisses you. But some kissing bugs are also called assassin bugs and they actually attack and eat live bedbugs, particularly bedbugs that have recently had a meal of some person's blood.

What makes an insect different from a bug?
There are two answers to this question. Slightly confusing!Formally, a true bug (Hemiptera) is a kind of insect. It is distinguished because it has a beak for piercing and sucking. Usually the bug sucks sap from a plant (aphids, scale insects), but some bugs suck blood etc from other insects, animals and even humans (fleas, bedbugs, mosquitoes). (Strictly, all bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs!)Informally, an insect is a kind of bug. The word bug is used to refer to arthropods, the rank above insects. Arthropods include all insects as well as arachnidsand crustaceans (spiders, scorpions, centipedes, prawns and crabs, and the now extinct trilobite). (Informally, all insects are bugs, but not all bugs are insects!)A:Actually bugs are considered a type of insect. They are classified under the order name hemiptera and in the Insecta class. True bugs are identified by the shape of their mouth which is like a needle or straw which is called a stylet or rostrum. They also have very specific membranous wings where it is think and dark where it connects to the body but goes transparent nearer the ends. Insects such as ants, termites and butterflies only have one of these qualities therefore are not true bugs.A:The big thing that defines bugs is they have a hypodermic needle like mouth, so that they can extract food from the inside of a flower, or from the inside of a living or once living victim.
Determine what pheromones are and how insect eating plants use them?
a pheromone is a chemical that triggers a natural behaviorial responce in another member of the same species. insect-eating plants use the same pheromones as bugs so they use them to attract insects to eat. by the way it's bad for you to use WikiAnswers to answer science questions out of your text book.
