That's a wheel bug. Also known as an assassin bug. They have a tube-like sucking mouth part, and can inflict a painful "bite" if handled carelessly. Personally I wouldn't handle one at all... let alone carelessly. But they are very interesting looking.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I went home and looked it up. Weird creatures! I wouldn't handle it either.
