The thought of having insects running around the home, going where they like, is quite disgusting to most people. The thought of bugs running over you while you are asleep or foraging off your food in the larder is quite off-putting too.

Bed bugs have almost certainly been pestering people for ever, especially in warmer countries. In fact Aristotle wrote of them in 400 BC, but they were not common in the United Kingdom until after the Great Fire of London in 1666.

Just about every household had bed bugs before the Second World War, which meant that lots of people were bitten each night and hence the popularity of that rhyme. The Baby Boomers never saw bed bugs when they were children and so were the first generation for 400 years not to suffer from bed bug bites.

There are in fact quite a few types of bed bug, but the one that most people mean by ‘bedbugs’ is Cimex lectularius. Other species of bedbugs will extract human blood, but normally only if their favoured host, like poultry, is not around.

If you wake up one day with prickly lumps on your body, you will probably think that you had been bitten by mosquitoes or ants the night beforehand, but there is also a possibility that bedbugs have got at you. If this happens in your own bed, then you have worries. If you are in a hotel, go and complain to the manager.

The majority of insects will defend themselves if they feel at risk. This is quite amazing when you think about how small insects are likened to the mammalian interloper. Most insects will only bite if you roam into their territory.

Allergies may be seen as an nonstandard reaction by a body to something that is harmless. In essence, it is a mistake. The body’s immune system has mis-identified a substance as an enemy, whereas it is really friendly or at least neutral. This is not the fault of that substance.

Swarming is done by numerous animals and some plants, but in English we use special words to describe it. Horses, cattle and sheep often run together as a herd or a flock; fish swim together as a shoal or a school; some plants move through the ocean together as a bloom and some flying insects swarm in the same way in the air.
