In the South West US I know of people who have set up tents indoors to avoid being bitten by cone nosed beetles, also known as Mexican Kissing Bugs or Assasin Bugs. They are a vector for Chagas Disease. The dang things only come out at night when their victim is sleeping, stealthily inserting their long blood sucking proboscis in the facial region of humans. Try as one may, finding where the dang things are hiding is almost next to impossible, thus the need for an indoor bug proof tent, until WMD’s can be used to eliminate the little $hits.

I love it here, but I walk purposefully with my eyes trained ahead, even in the house. But now you have me worrying about blood suckers in the middle of the night. This bug sounds like a literal nightmare.
