Which is a bed bug type found in tropical regions?

• A. Common bed bug Cimex lectularius
• B. Tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus
• C. Giant bed bug Cimex giganteus
• D. European bed bug Cimex europaeus

Answer: (B)

The tropical bed bug is Cimex hemipterus. This species is associated with warm, tropical regions, reflecting its distribution in hot climates. In contrast, the common bed bug Cimex lectularius is typically found in temperate areas and is known for surviving in a wider range of temperatures, but it is not the tropical species. The other names listed are not recognized as standard human-infesting bed bug species in this context. So, the tropical bed bug is Cimex hemipterus.
