 esence of blood and horror (as well as drinks and sometimes bats). In my t
 alk I will cover all four aspects. Bed bugs binge drink (about three times
  their body weight)\, and they only drink blood. For females\, drinking bl
 ood comes with sex\, which\, as I will present\, denotes the horror part (
 if that is insufficient for horror\, I will bring a picture from a heavily
  infested room). Sex is traumatic for females – copulatory wounding occu
 rs at every mating - and I will quantify the trauma and show what females 
 do about that. Traumatic insemination also lead to some unusual sperm biol
 ogy. I will examine some of the sperm biology separately for the two genet
 ically separated clades of bed bugs that either drink human or bat blood. 
 Human and bat blood produce bed bug sperm that differ predictably in lipid
  profiles\, and in sperm metabolism. This contrasts with Drosophila\, wher
 e we find that\, in the testes\, sperm are protected from incorporating di
 etary lipids but instead take them up from lipid vesicles in the seminal f
 luid (called microcarriers). Sperm then shuttle dietary sterols to the off
 spring where they seem to enhance offspring growth\, possibly because ster
 ols are the precursor for the insect growth hormone.
