There are over 1,000 species of Assassin Bugs around the world
My blood test for Chagas disease was negative. Yay!
So, it’s come to this: now I have homemade assassin bug traps in my back yard. I’ve set extra towels on the back porch where they were before, and half-buried some small pieces of PVC pipe in some leaves where they breed. Let them hide. It’s been several weeks, nothing yet, and no new sightings. I suspect I may have to wait until next Fall to get a good specimen.
I can wait. The health department will still be here.
…Not Bitter AT ALL
