Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

What the fuck are assassin bugs? Should I be concerned? What do you have to do to be put on the hit list?
They are mainly in South America and some in Central America, I think. They carry a parasite that causes Chagas disease.
So, most assassin bugs are actually be beneficial insects. It's a large group of true bugs, and most of them feed on other invertebrates.
As a@athairmor pointed out there are some types that feed on human blood and spread potentially deadly diseases. But these are the exceptions.
You should be concerned if you live in areas where the parasite carrying types live.
And you should be concerned if you are harassing/handling other types of assassin bug because many of them have very painful "stings" (it's not actually a sting it's their version of a bite, since they have needle like mouths they can use to jab in defense). So long as you leave those types alone, you generally won't end up on their list.
