Reduvius personatus

Species of true bug

Reduvius personatus or the masked hunter is an insect belonging to the assassin bug (Reduviidae) family. The name is because its nymphs camouflage themselves with dust. The masked hunter is a predator of small arthropods, including woodlice, lacewings, earwigs, bed bugs and termites. Masked hunters do not feed on human blood, but can sting humans in self-defense when mishandled. The sting can be painful, but masked hunters do not carry Chagas disease unlike the kissing bug for which they are sometimes mistaken.
