Not to be an alarmist, but I'm just passing the word here, and an image of a particular Mexican bug we should all be on the lookout for. Go to Mexico Bob's blog, read "Chagas Revisited" for all the facts. Bob wrote about the vinchuca back in May, but yesterday he brought it up again after finding one in his garden. It's a major health threat in Mexico. A lot worse than narcotrafficantes. Or swine flu. It's not for nothing that it's called the Assassin Bug. Bob says, "It is about the size of a U.S. dime and it flies very well. There are also several species of this bug and they all look fairly similar but with slightly different coloration. The one pictured is the most common."
This has been a public service announcement.
