Anyone know of this bug?

[Steven]

I opened my locker at school and found the most disgusting bug I've ever seen in my life, it looked like a cross between a giant ant and a cockroach, it was brown and kind of fat and about as long as a cockroach with the body of a queen ant and it could twist the top of it's body around so it's face could nearly touch it's ass. This thing was so damn ugly that it was fascinating, anyone know what this thing is?

Try to browse insect guides and figure it out. I wish I could help.

Maybe it's an assassin bug!

Description by Charles Darwin
Description from Charles Darwin's Journal and Remarks, commonly known as The Voyage of the Beagle; Extract from entry for 25 March 1835:

"We crossed the Luxan, which is a river of considerable size, though its course towards the sea-coast is very imperfectly known: it is even doubtful whether, in passing over the plains, it is not evaporated and lost. We slept in the village of Luxan, which is a small place surrounded by gardens, and forms the most southern cultivated district in the Province of Mendoza; it is five leagues south of the capital. At night I experienced an attack (for it deserves no less a name) of the Benchuca, a species of Reduvius, the great black bug of the Pampas. It is most disgusting to feel soft wingless insects, about an inch long, crawling over one's body. Before sucking they are quite thin, but afterwards they become round and bloated with blood, and in this state are easily crushed. One which I caught at Iquique, (for they are found in Chile and Peru,) was very empty. When placed on a table, and though surrounded by people, if a finger was presented, the bold insect would immediately protrude its sucker, make a charge, and if allowed, draw blood. No pain was caused by the wound. It was curious to watch its body during the act of sucking, as in less than ten minutes it changed from being as flat as a wafer to a globular form. This one feast, for which the benchuca was indebted to one of the officers, kept it fat during four whole months; but, after the first fortnight, it was quite ready to have another suck."

Or maybe not.
