This infographic about bedbugs was submitted to us by the good people at Lalema.com. It is hard for me to critique this infographic completely since I do not read or speak French, but even still, I gave this infographic an A-.

I can say that there is quite a large amount of text on this infographic, but a good amount of data visualization as well. I really like the line graph under the “New York” heading, but I think it should be a little wider and take up more space. The bar graph at the very bottom doesn’t seem to have any numerical data to accompany it, which it should. The section showing the different sizes of bed bugs should also be labeled, which it doesn’t seem to be. Another thing about this infographic is that the full-sized version is incredibly wide, it should be made a bit smaller so that the reader doesn’t have to scroll horizontally in order to view the entire infographic.

It’s tough to make sense of the content of this infographic without understanding French. The overall design is good, though. If you can read French and have feedback on this infographic, let us know what you think!

No matter which way you slice it, bed bugs are skeezy. That’s right, skeezy. And this infographic from, LiveScience, does a great job of pointing out just how unwanted these pesky critters are. Warning for the squeamish, if you aren’t too fond of bugs, then look away from the above infographic now.

The infographic begins by showing an all too close view of the bed bug and includes an “actual size” view as well. This will come in handy for anyone who thinks they might have a pest like this hiding in their bed. The infographic then continues by showing how the bedbug feeds and even states that bedbugs increase in length by 50% after feeding and 200% in weight. One of the more disturbing parts of this infographic is the explanation of bedbug mating habits, which uses the phrase “traumatic insemination” to describe the process.

Overall, this is definitely an interesting infographic, though it would have been interesting to see information about how to identify bedbugs in the home, how bedbugs spread, how many homes on average have budbugs, and most importantly, how to get rid of them.
