Got this off a bug Web site:
Assassin bugs are appropriately named because of their habit of lying in ambush for their insect prey. With speed and accuracy, this bug uses its long "beak" to stab the victim and then inject it with a lethal toxin that dissolves the victim's tissue, then it sucks up the liquefied tissues through its long beak
Assassin bugs are aggressive and not afraid to attack creatures much larger than itself. They will inflict a very painful bite to humans if handled carelessly, causing a severe reaction in some persons. The beak is rather large and the beast can manuever it very quickly to not only impale its victim but to inject toxic venom.
Diane has simply watched too many mummy movies to care for large beetl-
Aaaaaiiiiieeeeeeee!!!
