\u00a0\u00a0 Jeremy continues:\u00a0 Although there was nothing else near our porch light, I found this assassin bug <\/strong>on the window of my living room in Saanich today.\u00a0 If you see one of these bugs, you would be well advised not to handle it.\u00a0 They have a reputation for being able to give a painful bite.<\/p>\n
