Everything about Kissing Bug totally explained
Triatoma protracta (commonly called Western Conenose, vinchuca, Mexican bedbugs or Kissing Bug) is an
assassin bug (family
Reduviidae) of the order
Hemiptera. A 2 cm, brown-black nocturnal
insect found in forests. Common in the southwestern
USA.
This particular species lives in association, and feeds almost exclusively on wood rats of the genus
Neotoma. While this species carries a nonvirulent strain of
Chagas disease that doesn't manifest symptoms in humans, it's still dangerous, as its bite is extraordinarily painful, and its powerful venom, released during feeding, can cause
anaphylactic shock.
