Abstract

An inexpensive and easily constructed apparatus was designed to permit feeding individual bed bug, Cimex lectularius , colonies blood to which known amounts of corticosterone had been added. This device may prove useful for a variety of blood-feeding arthropods. Test results indicated that the highest concentration of corticosterone employed (40 ng/ml) had no effect on bed bug fecundity.
