Cimexopsis nyctalis
Chimney Swift Bug
Cimexopsis nyctalis is a species of bed bug in the family Cimicidae, commonly known as the Chimney Swift Bug. It is an ectoparasite specifically associated with the Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica), a North American bird species. The insect has been documented from nest material and roosting sites of its host. Its narrow host specificity and obligate parasitic lifestyle distinguish it from the more generalist bed bugs that feed on humans.
