Description
Well I was looking for things to take pics of today,since it was oddly warm. I was thinking on practicing catching a bee in flight,when I saw this guy. Its a Wheel Bug (Arilus cristatus) a type of assasin bug,and he had caught himself a honey bee as a meal. As you can tell compared to the bee,he is rather large,and caution should be used if you come across these. They have been know to stab you if you bother them. Hope you enjoy.
