Cimex adjunctus
Species of true bug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cimex adjunctus, is an ectoparasite found in a wide range across North America.[1] Like other insects in the genus Cimex, C. adjunctus is a temporary parasite that feeds on blood [2], not lingering on its hosts between meals. C. adjunctus feed on the blood of many insectivorous bat species.[2] On a number of occasions, these insects have been found on the wings of Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat).[1]
