What do bed bugs eat?

Bed bugs are small roach looking bugs that feed on blood. While they will eat the blood of most any mammal they prefer human blood. Bed bugs get their name in a large part due to their feeding habits. Since they prefer to eat human blood and are nocturnal they tend to nest under or around where humans sleep. They eat until their stomachs are bloated and many times pop when the person they are feeding on rolls over. As bed bugs get older the blood diet turns them a dark amber color. Young bed bugs are clear before their first feeding. A great resource on bed bugs is the how do I know if I have bed bugs website.
