Bedbug/Chinche

vote
So far I have found the word chinche for bedbug. But I've heard that this can also mean a general bug. Does anyone know of another word for bedbug? Also, if there is another word or words, would you please include the region? Gracias! Thanks!

Have a look at this article from Wikapedia español under Chinche de las camas
It gives the scientific name as Cimex lectularius.

You may be correct, because when I googled chinche fotos I got pictures of these beetles? (garden pests)

Yes, I'm just agreeing that chinche might not exclusively be a bedbug - 0074b507, Sep 2, 2010

Hi Helind, as far as I know that's the general word 'chinche' a regular bug is a bicho, but of course there are probably other names in other places, we shall see.
