Bed bugs have existed since the time of the dinosaurs
Bed bugs are near impossible to get rid of and can spread faster than watercooler gossip. But that might also be why they’ve managed to stick around for so long. Scientists believe that the bugs have existed since the time of the dinosaurs, coming onto the scene about 115 million years ago, according to a 2019 study in Current Biology.
“To think that the pests that live in our beds today evolved more than 100 million years ago and were walking the earth side by side with dinosaurs was a revelation,” said researcher Mike Siva-Jothy. “It shows that the evolutionary history of bed bugs is far more complex than we previously thought.”
