I agree that the video makes it look harmless, but I can assure you it's not. I was just bitten by one last Sunday and almost passed out it hurt so bad. It was in Pennsylvania, so I don't have to worry about Chagas, but it was like combining 10 wasp sting with about 25 mosquito bites. Oh, and add about a tablespoon of cheyenne pepper for the burning sensation. I can handle pain -- I set my own broken toe with no pain killers -- but this was enough to make me want to cut my arm off.

Nature holds no quarter. Remarkable video of a rarely seen world of cave creatures.
Creepy.

The bite of the assassin bug or Conenose can transmit a pathogenic bacterium which bring on Chagas disease.
Chagas disease is a serious disorder that can affect the nervous/digestive system, along with the heart.
It is prevalent in Mexico, Central America, and South America.

I am totally fascinated and creeped out at the same time. I feel like I just watched a horror/sci-fi movie @_@
