Heteropteran - Triatoma

Heteropteran - Triatoma
Chantilly, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
May 3, 2009
Size: > 10 mm
Found under the bark of a rotting tree. I remember I've seen this in BG or somewhere, but I could not find... Please help with ID.

Triatoma?
*

 
Definitely.
A nymph of Triatoma for certain. Nice image, too.

 
Blood sucking?
Oh, no! I suffered from the tick bite and now this guy also may suck my blood? :-(

 
I just ran across this -
I'm alarmed to see these live around here! I didn't know that. Great picture, but yuck!
