Could you recognise a bed bug?
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are parasitic insects that feed on human blood.
It is a common misconception that bed bugs are microscopic in size, adult bed bugs are in fact 5 - 7mm long, around the same size and shape as an apple seed.
Before a blood meal, the adults are light coloured with a flat, oval body, and become longer, more rounded and reddish brown in colour after a blood meal.
Bed bugs go through three main life stages: the egg, which is a white colour measuring around 1mm long; 5 pale nymph stages that range from 1mm to 4.5mm long; and then the fully grown adult.

Could you recognise a Garden Ant?
Garden ants (Lasius niger), which measure 3-5mm in length, are one of the most commonly encountered species of ant in the United Kingdom.
Garden ants only have one queen within the nest and 15-20,000 sterile female workers that spend most of their life outside living in sandy soil and under flagstones.
Worker ants actively seek out sugary food stuffs, and once a food source has been identified, the workers will pass some of the food gathered to other workers who will follow the chemical trail to the source.

Could you recognise a Wasp?
Wasps (Vespula ssp) are yellow and black in colour, they have elbowed antennae and a constricted abdomen with a painful sting at the end.
A wasp's nest is only used once, and then abandoned.
The fertilised queen emerges from hibernation in the spring and begins to build a nest from wood foraged from fence posts, garden sheds and tree bark mixed with salvia.
The queen will then lay eggs and care for the grubs, feeding them on insects that she has gathered until they are fully developed at approximately 4 weeks of age.

Could you recognise a Flea?
Of the approximate 60 species of fleas in the United Kingdom, cat and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides felis, Ctenocephalides canis) are the most common flea species encountered.
Fleas are ectoparasites, meaning that they feed on the outside of the host's body; these insects can spread a number of diseases to humans and your pets.
The adult flea is 2mm in length, is laterally flattened and mahogany in colour.
The flattened body allows this insect species to live amongst the fur of the animal.
