Bedbug penis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the penis of a male bedbug (family Cimicidae). During mating,the male punctures the wall of the female's abdomen and deposits its sperm into a sac. This process is known as traumatic insemination. The female lays around 200 eggs during each reproductive period,producing up to three batches of eggs a year. The bedbug is a nocturnal parasite that feeds on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. It inhabits human dwelling places,living in mattresses,upholstery and flooring.
