Great shot! But this is not a Triatominae. The Triatominae is the subfamily of the bloodsucking group of Reduviids. This is a predator, note the curved beak. The Triatomines all have straight beaks.
Great shot! Wow, check out those spines.
Great photo. They are so spindly that they always foil my best attempts at getting them all in focus.
