Abstract Insects comprise the majority of all described animal species and dominate the terrestrial habitats. The evolution of insect metamorphosis played a profound role in their successful adaptation and radiation. Insect metamorphosis is dependent on hormones ecdysteroids and sesquiterpenoids such as juvenile hormone.

Introduction Cimicids in the Hemiptera are insects that feed on hosts’ blood. Despite the family Cimicidae contains 91 described species and can be divided into 6 subfamilies and 23 genera (Krinsky, 2019), most people refer bed bugs to the 3 better known species where humans serve as their hosts – tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus, common bed bug Cimex lectularius, and Eastern bat bug Leptocimex boueti.

| BioRxiv
Abstract Cimex species are ectoparasites that exclusively feed on warm-blooded animals such as birds and mammals. Three cimicid species are known to be persistent pests for humans, including the tropical bed bug C. hemipterus, common bed bug C. lectularius, and Eastern bat bug Leptocimex boueti. To date, genomic information is restricted to the common bed bug C. lectularius, which limits understand their biology and to provide controls of bed bug infestations.
