Wheel bug

Arilus cristatus

Description:

Many of the insects on which wheel bugs prey are considered agricultural pests so this is an appreciated bug. They are well camouflaged in their environment and often not seen; this individual was apparently attracted to insects flocking to a lit wall.

Habitat:

Bank wall near ATM machine
