The bed bug, and far too common. Bugs are often found in 

 situations where it seems impossible for them to indulge in the 

 blood of humanity. Such a place is found in the depths of a 

 coal mine, where they abound in the cracks, &c, of the timber 

 which is used to support the roof in the workings. They may 

 there revel in the darkness and heat, but it is difficult to imagine 

 what they can feed on.
