Assassin Bug vs. Bat

"Think there's nothing scarier than a vampire bat? How about the bug/insect that sucks its blood?"

I caught one of these beetles when I was caving in Belize. They seem to be quite common. You don't want them to bite you because they are known to carry the parasites that cause Chagas disease. I think this is the disease that Darwin contracted during his travels.

I find it ironic that they suck blood from vampire bats - what goes around, comes around.
