Microtomus purcis

Wonderful thread Lucanus. I see you feed your bugs well, on a steady diet of Panera!

And man you are brave, holding the adults in your hand!

I have never been tagged by this species so I don't know if they are all that bad (sounds like you do

), but I must say that I've been bit stung by scorpions and fire ants, bitten by tarantulas and Scolopendra, not to mention a huge arrange of other things - and the most acutely painful bite I have ever gotten was from a Reduviid.

Ya. All my bugs get nice chunks of breads from Panera. LOL

This species is quite docile so as long as you don't grab them, and let them crawl onto you, they won't bite

Wow, that's quite a large list of bugs to get bit by.....I've been bit/stung by lots of bugs too and I do agree that reduvids give the most painful bites
