This 'small history' of bedbugs dealt with issues like identification of bedbugs in early societies and traced the historical development of the social attitude towards insects like bedbugs, which intruded the domestic and private spaces. By tracing the references of the bedbugs in early Indian literary texts, this paper shows how in the early societies, insects like bedbugs were often confused with other insects and further seeks to understand the dual identification of the bedbugs as the pest and the potion. In colonial India, scientists worked on the insects like bedbugs who they suspect as the vector for tropical diseases like Kala-azar and Oriental Sore. Apart from exploring the scientific world of the colonial scientists, this paper also focuses on the depiction of bedbugs in the stories, poems, and travelogues, etc.
