Wheel bug (likely juvenile)

Common in gardens, woodland edges, orchards, and other areas with shrubs or trees across much of North America. Adults often rest on trunks, foliage, walls, and windows.

A predatory insect that pierces prey with its beak and sucks out body fluids, feeding on caterpillars, beetles, true bugs, and other arthropods.

Usually solitary and ambush-oriented, it patrols vegetation or waits motionless for prey. It has one generation annually in many regions; eggs overwinter and nymphs develop through several stages.

Highly beneficial for natural pest control. It can deliver a painful defensive bite if handled or trapped, but it is not considered medically dangerous.
