I was wondering what type of bedbugs are the size of an apple seed, and who is feeding them the steroids to become that large? Bedbugs are extremely small creatures the size of a pin head at best, not an apple seed.

Hi Janet, it's scary to think how large these bugs can grow. Health Canada reports that a unfed adult bedbug can range in size from 6mm to 10mm. Yikes! For more information, visit Health Canada's website. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pubs/pest/_pnotes/bedbugs-punaises-lits/index-eng.php
