Perspective on BedBugs' Size:BedBugs are of varying sizes depending upon their stage of life. An Adult BedBug is about the size of an Apple Seed. They are of Oval shape and some of them are more elongated than others. BedBug on Human Skin:BedBugs would sneakily move onto their host as not to be noticed. They are primarily attracted to host by Cabon Dioxide and warmth. They would feed on human blood for 5-10 minutes. The Flatness of BedBug Bodies:BedBugs have little Height compared to their Length and Width. That is they are Flat bodied. This allows them to hide very easily into Craks, Slits and Gaps. Among the Signs of BedBug's Presence is their Feces:As BedBugs feed and lay eggs and shed some skins at various stages, only seeing their feces is proof enough that you have them. Their feces are easily visible and would leave a streak if tried to be smudged. They are almost black and can be easily felt to a touch. BedBug on it's back (Belly-Up) and an Egg is beside it:BedBugs lay their egg and Cement It to the surface where it is laid so it would not easily be moved away. Some Credits:WikiPedia
