An update to a previous posting of mine titled, “A Good Bug”, - seems the family is growing by leafs and bounds -
These are Assassin Bug Nymphs or more specifically Wheel Bug Nymphs, which are in the Assassin bug family.
Quite the enormous cluster! Guessing they likely hatched recently and getting some alone time with mum 🤣
Wheel bugs are beneficial to have around and help control other insects. However, be forewarned, do NOT pick one up, as they can deliver a painful bite with their mouth parts!
But honestly, not sure who would look at this or any other similar gathering and think 🤔, hey let’s pick them up, geesh.
However, there’s a reason why we have SO many cover your ass warning labels these day…
