    I wish I didn’t know.

    As far as I can tell 1 week to hatch and 1 week to reach maturity seems like a good rule of thumb. Different species have different temperature optimums but I can’t see how that is practically relevant to anyone.

      It could be worse. You could know that bedbugs reproduce through a process called “tramatic insemination”

        I knew that.

        They also thrive on incest, and love to breed with their own parents and siblings.

        Bedbugs are already just super gross, but the more you learn about their biology the more gross they become.
