Assassin Bug of Malaysia Ƣݔҩᾫ٨ӷ

It is thirsty for your blood. This is the form justice takes for all the bugs you crushed - and don't tell me you haven't swatted a mosquito or sprayed ants with chemicals. You wondered if karma was true, the idea was appealing, and you thought vegetarianism might be a righteous plan. But you kept smashing those bugs. This is the beetle under your boot. This is the yellow bursting gob of guts on your windshield in July. This is an untireable, unstoppable six-legged four-winged dispenser of justice. You think it accidentally rubs feces into your sores? It bites a hole in you, sucks your blood, then rolls little balls of Chagas' Surprise and stuffs them into the hole, reaching them right down into your fatty tissue with its long arm. You're part of this ecology, and this bug is throwing down for what you did to all its brothers and sisters and aunts and step-uncles and second cousins 1/3 removed and all its ancestors who were sitting peacefully eating flowers in the sun before the heavy-handed apes appeared, extirpating them in their millions of millions. If you've read this far I might as well tell you that I am generally against this kind of eco-propaganda, and though some insects are harmful, I don't support labelings like "Nature's Deadliest Assassins" or anything that suggests to watchers that things in Nature should be feared or hated. On the other hand, people seem to be attracted to this insect because it is harmful, even deadly. But the person who really got the whole wiggle's worth out of this animal was Professor Sir Vincent Wigglesworth, who used it and its kin as experimental subjects in insect physiology.

Trypanosoma Cruzi is the parasite

and that reduviid bug is the vector

You will die

The main reason why these don't transmit disease in the U.S. is because the type that lives here does not defecate inside the bite wound after it takes a blood meal.

@thesuckpuppet18 Well, don't and dont mess around with it if u panic, relax ur face (ur body) and just put it outside or something with a paper.

One time in my old science class I saw one of these crawling around and said "Hey Mr. Carney (My teacher,) isn't this an assassin bug?" And he said, "No, I'd say it's more of an assassinated bug." And then he killed it.

[thesuckpuppet18]

So... I shouldn't kill that bug?

[goddamnfaggots]
