I found this bug at Long Shoals off of Highway 8 (or 11). 'Tis a snapping bug. It glided from someplace onto my shirt, then it fell onto this rock. This was the end result.

The wheel bug, a type of assassin bug is normally the predator. It attacks any bugs that is unfortunate enough to be close to it. And it is very good at it too. But something got to this group of wheel bugs sometime after they hatched. Found underneath a pine tree in my back yard.

A box elder bug that found his way into the house.
These guys like to overwinter in houses and can be found mostly on southern and western exposures when the weather starts getting cold. They'll wake up from their dormancy several times during the winter and many time get into houses.
Boisea trivittatis is a true bug, of the order Hemiptera. while most of the true bugs are carnivorous and eat pest insects, the box elder bug goes after the seeds of trees in the maple family, they don't really hurt the tree but the do prevent its propagation. They really like the female trees better since they are the ones that produce the seeds. In some places they are such a problem that box elders are banned. I like their bright color and we don't get enough of them for me to be annoyed.
Taken with the reverse mounted manual cheapie Gemini Minolta mount @ 50mm (it's a 18 - 70 and the zoom functions in reverse when mounted backwards, so 50 is toward the wide end) this is at f/16 to try to get some DOF. I made a "soft box" out of an old plastic salad container, some paper, and some aluminum foil to diffuse the flash. PP-wise I desaturated the background a little and bumped the contrast. Next time I'll go 1/30th instead of 1/60th...
I wish I'd thrown a size comparison in there (coin or something) with him since he's only about this big: (==)o<
Wheel bugs are rather uncommon. This fellow is a large adult, about 2 inches in length. They have a grayish/ black body with a half wheel crest of armor on the thorax bearing numerous protruding tooth like structures and a long, slender reddish/ brown colored antennae. They are voracious predators, attacking large bugs, flies, caterpillars, and other soft bodied insects, injecting them with salivary fluids which dissolves soft tissue. Wheel bugs are considered beneficial insects, although they can inflict a painful bite if handled carelessly.
This guy was really checking me out as I was walking around him taking his picture.
If it wasnt for the cold, I believe he would have been hiding, or possibly going after me, as they are usually shy and stay out of sight.
He was found attached to the garage at my son's country home in Washington County Ohio.

Fireflies are familiar, but few realize that these insects are actually beetles, nocturnal members of the family Lampyridae. Most fireflies are winged, which distinguishes them from other luminescent insects of the same family, commonly known as glowworms.
