I get wheely excited about bugs. The North American wheel bug is our largest native assassin bug, reaching an impressive size of about an inch long! They feed on just about anything they can overpower with their potent digestive venom and are capable of inflicting some impressive pain with a defensive bite as well. Although they might seem intimidating, their danger to us humans ends at their painful bite, and their generally calm demeanor makes for low risk of being bitten anyway. I was stoked

The wheel bug takes its name from the shape of its back, but this is one tough bug! They prey on a lot of other insects, including garden pests and invasive bugs like Japanese beetles and stink bugs. Their bite can pack a punch, so if you see one, give it space.

I like big bugs and I cannot lie. The North American wheel bug is the largest assassin bug we have here in the US. They possess a powerful digestive saliva that they inject into their prey before slurping up the liquified remains! While many people think assassin bugs are dangerous (looking at you Chagas carrying kissing bugs) the vast majority of assassin bugs are harmless to humans. Even this gargantuan insect can’t kill you, though their bites are incredibly painful! Luckily these creatures s

This wheel bug nymph is attacking a green cloverworm caterpillar. Wheel bugs are a type of assassin bug. They use their beak-like mouthparts to inject toxin into their prey's body, immobilizing the prey before feeding on its body fluids. Green cloverworms will defoliate soybeans and alfalfa, although they rarely cause significant damage.
