安大略省居民将箱形接骨木虫误认为是危险的接吻虫;专家证实，加拿大没有接吻虫或恰加斯病病例。 Ontario residents mistook box elder bugs for dangerous kissing bugs; experts confirm no kissing bugs or Chagas cases in Canada.

2025年9月底,安大略居民报告说,他们看到类似接吻虫的虫子,但专家证实,这些虫子可能是箱型大虫,而不是在美国南部发现的带病接吻虫。 In late September 2025, Ontario residents reported seeing bugs resembling kissing bugs, but experts confirm these are likely box elder bugs, not the disease-carrying kissing bugs found in the southern U.S. 在加拿大没有发现可传播南美锥虫病的接吻虫,那里只记录了两起南美锥虫病例,两者都来自输血。 Kissing bugs, which can transmit Chagas disease, have not been found in Canada, where only two Chagas cases have been recorded, both from blood transfusions. 箱型大虫无害、不咬人的昆虫聚集在家中冬眠,不会造成财产损失或健康风险,尽管它们粉碎后会发出臭味。 Box elder bugs are harmless, non-biting insects that gather in fall to hibernate in homes, causing no property damage or health risks, though they emit a foul odor when crushed. 其他常见的秋天入侵者包括臭虫、亚洲女士甲虫和群蝇。 Other common fall invaders include stink bugs, Asian lady beetles, and cluster flies.
