Kissing bug

Description:

The black bug’s abdomen has an orange color on its margin. It has an exoskeleton which makes it outer covering tough.

Habitat:

This nocturnal insect was found inside the house near window between 10:00 -10:30 PM. The building where it was found is an old house with wooden structures.

Notes:

If you found an insect with similar features handle it with care and do not crush or attempt to hold it with bare hands because it is a blood-sucker insect and its feces might carry some parasites. Its bite is painless and can cause allergic reaction to some individuals.
