the 'nice' part referred to this important addition, but..
...then i realized that triatomines in general are among the best behaved, easy to catch/handle reduviids; never in a hurry, never trying anything funny -- all dignity and good manners, in stark contrast to the restless, jerky, feisty bugs that constitute the majority of that family
still, love them all... over 30 reduviid spp. live in my backyard, incl. 3 spp. of
Triatoma
again, thanks for finding, photographing, and adding this bug to the guide

How much (long) hair it has on his body, legs, antennae?
