With all of the hype about bed bugs, I decided to do a little online research. Beside the fact that these little apple seed sized bugs can go for 18 months with out eating, they also have a very unique way of mating. It is called traumatic insemination.

Because the female bed bug is usually not interested in mating, they do not copulate. Instead, the male stabs the female any where on her body and inseminates her that way.

Sounds like rape to me.
