Dark Banquet, by Dr. William A. Schutt, Jr., Associate Professor of Biology, C.W. Post College of Long Island University, is all about blood-feeding creatures. In it he presents fascinating facts about the familiar (mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, bats, leeches); the less-familiar (vampire finches, tse-tse flies) and the downright disturbing (candiru).  In the bed bug section, Bug Off Pest Control Center figures prominently as one of the definite stars of the book. Published by Harmony Books with over 50 original drawings by Patricia Wynne. For more information visit www.darkbanquet.com.  To view Dr. Bill's lecture at the 2008 New York Pest Expo, click here.
