Actually, my dictionary doesn't have the word in it. The closest it
gets is
reduviid n: any of a family of blood-sucking hemipterous insects
comprising the assassin bugs.
Perhaps, in context, this is close enough.
LOL!!
Reminds me of the definition of "Politics:"
"From the greek 'Poly-,' meaning 'many,' and 'ticks,' meaning
'blood-sucking
insects.'"
Have fun,
