Bedbugs Aren’t Just Back, They’re Spreading : NPR
Bedbugs! (Note: I’m not posting a picture; google images for the critters, ’nuff said!)

“I find all bugs mysterious, wonderful. These ones I tend to find a little bit despicable. But they’re fascinating in their own regard.“This business of feeding on other people — the ectoparasitic life — I think we all know some people that do that, don’t we now? And maybe bedbugs aren’t so awfully different than somebody we know,” he says. “So, there’s a little bit of us in them, perhaps.”
UNQUOTE
Interesting to think they used to be ubiquitous.
Posted from Diigo. The rest of my favorite links are here.
The comments to that bedbug post are at least a little bit frightening.

Yes, especially the ones about the difficulty of getting rid of these pests once you have them. Ugh… /shudder!
