Cimex adjunctus

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