An Eastern Bat Bug collected in Allegany Co., Maryland (5/4/2015). Notes from Richard Orr: This Bat Bug (<em>Cimex adjunctus</em>) resembles the closely related Bed Bug that feeds on humans. However, this species feeds on the blood of bats. Collected by Rebecca Hiller on May 4, 2015 from a Big Brown Bat (<em>Eptesicus fuscus</em>). (Photo ID: 24040 - Psn: 20)
