Speaking of bug hunting, he is actually a separate subject, not the name of a kind of insect, because there are actually many kinds of different hunting bugs under the family of bug hunting, there are about 7,000 species recorded in the world, and there are more than 400 kinds of records in China.
Let's take a look at what a bug hunter looks like, shall we?
The predatory behavior of the hunting bug is very cruel, it usually inserts a tube into the body of the prey, sucks the prey dry, to maintain its own survival energy, and the prey that is sucked, because the hunting bugs are not toxic, resulting in the prey can not die for a while and a half, can only bear the pain of being drained alive, until death.
Although the bug hunting is cruel, it does no harm to humans, although the hunting bug is ugly and its appearance is not the opposite, but it is still a beneficial insect. For example, termites that give people a headache. Bug hunting is their natural enemy, and when people are worried about not being able to control termites, they can help us very well, because they are the nemesis of termites. How do bug hunters catch termites? Originally, the bug hunter would stay in front of the termite nest and camouflage, waiting for the rabbit to appear. Termites are known to have no vision, so when they come out of the hole, they rely on almost all of their sense of smell. When a termite comes out of the hole, the bug hunter will hunt it, and the other soldier ants smell the death of their compatriots and rush to the rescue. The result can be imagined, one or two termites automatically delivered to the door... All became a good meal for bug hunting.

However, due to the variety of hunting bugs, when encountering bugs in the wild, it is still not easy to contact, because the subfamily cone hunting bugs inhabit mammalian nests and human rooms, sucking blood for food. Some species in this subfamily become vector insects for the transmission of Trypanosomiasis of the Americas in tropical Americas. In China, this subfamily has recorded 2 species, although there are no reports of human and animal diseases so far, but there are still too many types of bug hunting, we are not entomologists, we still do not easily try to contact the bug hunting.
