Cimex adjunctus
Species of true bug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cimex adjunctus, is an ectoparasite found in a wide range of North America.[1] Like other insects in the genus Cimex, C. adjunctus is a temporary parasite that eats blood.[2] Temporary, meaning that they do not linger on their hosts between meals. C. adjunctus feed off of many insectivorous bat species.[2] On more than one occasion, these insects have been found on the wings of Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat).[1]
