Bedbug invasion of America?

Earlier this month, bedbugs crawled all over the front page of the Toronto Sun, which reported that they are a growing menace in the city.  This time (31st August), they swarmed all over page one of Express, a free daily in Washington DC from the publishers of Washington Post.

We wonder if the American and Canadian bedbugs are of the same species, and can then be called North Americans.  And how would they differ from the Pinoy surot in terms of 'body build, skin color,' and smell when crushed?

We guess that an investigation is going on in both Canada and the US to find out where these bedbugs originated.  They could be 'illegal immigrants' from some other part of the world that escaped detection at the Homeland Security checkpoints.

The Denver Post reported on the efforts of Ohio authorities to contain the bedbug invasion in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and other cities.  Where next?

Update:  4th September, 2010. The bedbugs are in Indianapolis --
