I particularly like the second shot of the Wheel Bug. I found my very first Globular Springtail today, I had lost hope.

Oh, yeah. Big assassin bug. Seen 3 or 4 but never since I had a camera. Not something to pick up, nosir.

they are nothing you should kill either. They all but wiped out a Japanese beetle infestation I had a couple years ago.

Outstanding images and very interesting subjects. I have never seen a Wheel Bug before so thanks for sharing yours with me.

Right about bite. I was about ten or so. One I was holding bit me in palm of R hand. A weepy, necrotic open pit looking sore that took a couple of weeks to heal was the result. They kill the largest wasps, preying mantids, and anything else comes their way. And they have an organ that will protrude from anus when threatened that is similar to swallowtail larva defense organs. Correct about being beneficial. Common, the nymphs look nothing like the adults.
