There are two species of bedbug in the world, and both are of the family Cimicidae. of the insect order Hemiptera.

The original bedbug of temperate regions of the world in named Cimex Lectularius and the bedbug of the tropics is named either Cimex Rotundatus or Cimex Hemipterus.

Both species live on or near people's beds and feed on human blood. They normally extract it from the bed's occupant while he or she is asleep during the night. They crawl on to the person and bite him or her usually on the limbs and suck out a portion of their blood usually without the person waking up.

In a heavily infested bed, large numbers of bedbug may come out and feed off the bed's occupant(s) during a night. After completion of each meal each bedbug crawls off the person and finds a hiding place very near where the person sleeps, such as the fold of the bed's mattress, where the bedbug normally remains during daylight unless disturbed.
