You have heard someone call it an assassin bug, and some others kissing bugs or maybe bedbugs. LOL! But actually these are true bugs. Why was that? This insect used their sucking tube (proboscis) to earn a living. Some types of true bugs were stinky, and some had no odor. The stink was actually a diversion or a common defense mechanism for predators to avoid being eaten. You may find it very friendly since they used tubes as their mouths, unlike other insects like bees or ants, which used pincers or mandibles to slice their food. But careless handling of a bug such as this could be very disappointing if you don't know which bug it is. This bug could liquefy their food in minutes using their saliva, like assassin bugs that could kill in just seconds and liquefy their victims' internal organs and suck it like juice. It's much more painful than an ant sting.
Thank you for visiting this blog, and have a nice day.
