It turns out these little guys aren't so microscopic after all. My sheets get washed TONIGHT, damnit.
From Wikipedia: All bedbugs mate via a process termed traumatic insemination. Instead of inserting their genitalia into the female's reproductive tract as is typical in copulation, males instead pierce females with hypodermic genitalia and ejaculate into the body cavity. This form of mating is thought to have evolved as a way for males to overcome female mating resistance.
So, bedbugs get raped?
From Wikipedia: Female bedbugs can lay up to five eggs in a day and 500 during a lifetime.
Damn, that's a lot of rape. I'd almost feel sorry for them if they weren't fucking bedbugs.
In 2004, New York City had 377 bedbug violations. I'm guessing these were hotels.
Guess who's not going to NYC any time soon.
