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

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

A bouncing baby bug! The North American wheel bug is our largest native assassin bug, reaching an impressive size of about an inch long!
