That is an assassin bug - but it is not one of the "kissing bugs" (Triatominae). Like the vast majority of assassin bugs, it is a predator that will devour other bugs. It will not feed on human blood, nor will it spread diseases - but it can give you a painful (but not medically significant) bite/stab in self-defense if it feels threatened.

This little guy looks like Reduvius pallipes. Compare to this one: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/19637274

Got bitten by this guy(not the same) 2 times in my glute region half an hour ago.
It was hiding in my underpants.
So i put alcohol and ice.
Any other suggestion?
I feel only pain in a normal scale.
No itch,no allergic reaction until now.

If an admin needs to put this post in the bite report session plz do so.
