The Kissing bug has a stout, strong beak to pierce through their prey. They can also use their beak to pierce human skin if they feel threatened. Many people believe that the kissing bugs bite is the most painful of all insect bites. The biggest problem with kissing bugs compared to other assassin bugs is that their favorite meal is bed bugs, thus humans see them often. |
