Pflueger May Bug Lure Ad
Also known as the Assassin Bug. Found it outside our lanai door this morning. This deadly insect preditor is great to have around the house but don't get bit. Bite can be very nasty to humans. Wheel Bug is slow moving, not agressive, and will only bite if mishandled. :)
Order: Hemiptera (True Bugs, Cicadas, Aphids, Hoppers, Whiteflies, and Mealybugs).
Size: 4-7mm.
Range: Widespread in North America to southern Mexico.
Description: These insects are active from spring through fall in gardens, fields, and meadows, feeding on the juices of stems, leaves, and fruits of over 200 species of plants. Females lay eggs into soft stems and leafstalks.
No precarious balancing for these two!

This was at the base of the tree they live in, and right before my sister in law kicked sand on them and sent them scattering 12 feet up the tree.
Flames all around...lol...Like a bug is going to go fast enough for flames. The other side had something diffferent, but, very busy street with daughter. so, I didn't get that one.

We learned that flies are found on every continent save Antarctica - check out these cool flies!
