Description
I have more respect for these guys after reading about them. The Wheel Bug (a.k.a. Assassin Bug) is a carnivore that has a large proboscis that they use to inject digestive fluids into their prey. Once they're disolved, they suck them back up.
While not deadly, the bite apparently hurts worse than a bee sting. Not unbearable, but not pleasant.
That said, they're usually very shy and prefer to run away.
If you look closely you'll see why this one didn't run away. He's in the middle of a meal.

He is also a nymph and can't fly away. I am sure he is dead by now though.
