Wheel bug (likely nymph)

Woodlands, gardens, orchards, and building exteriors across much of North America, especially where caterpillars and other insects occur.

A predatory insect that pierces prey with a stout beak and sucks out body fluids. It consumes caterpillars, beetles, true bugs, and other arthropods.

Usually solitary and active from spring through fall; nymphs pass through several stages before becoming adults. It may fly or drop when disturbed and can deliver a painful defensive bite if handled.

Beneficial in gardens and forests because it suppresses many plant-eating insects. It is not medically dangerous, but its bite can be painful and cause localized swelling.
