What's the name of this Heteroptera bug from Toronto, Canada? My friend already identified it as belonging to the Heteroptera order, but I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the species. Found in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on July 21 2017, in a residential bathroom. !Mystery bug !Mystery bug

This is, indeed, a Heteroptera bug.

Luckily, this is not a kissing bug (which could be infected with _Trypanosoma_ ), but just an _assassin bug_ , from the Species _Reduvius personatus_. Its common name is masked hunter.

Here is an image of the same bug, also in Ontario, from the Canada Pest Control website:
