you're right! thank you. I always appreciate having my understanding/knowledge broadened a bit.
Right, Wheel Bugs are in the family Reduviidae, aka Assassin Bugs.
Really? I thought Assassin Bugs had the wheel. Ah, better do some research and solve this mystery.
I think a wheel bug is a type of assassin bug with that little wheel shape on its back. Nice photos! :)
This is what I know as an Assassin Bug... they must have two names? interesting. wonderful photo!
