I Know...

Went outside to do some target practice this afternoon and this is what I found on my target. It was very slow moving and it actually had wings which took me by surprise. It flew and landed on a patio umbrella and I snapped some pics.

Wicked looking thing, especially the "horn-like" things on it's back. It also could move it's neck in and out and side to side, kind of like a turtle.

What is it, anyone know?

Its a Bug Silly! :tongue: :darkbeer:

Wheel Bug

That there is an adult Wheel Bug. I'm sure of it. It's not a stink bug. They look more like a shield. You can google it but that is what he is.

True Bug

I believe that you have found an insect from the order Hemiptera also known as true bugs. The word hemiptera actually mean 1/2 wing. If I can identify the actual bug I will post the answer later.

Slowen

ps the bug won't hurt you.

That is called an assassin bug or wheelbug. They are similar to stink bugs but bigger, long and bite! they are truely carnivorous.

note the raised thorax (wheel), mouth and if I'm correct it is about 1-1/2 to 2" long.

Stink Bug, Wheel Bug or True Bug?

I call them Stink Bugs, but I do no that if they get in your garden, squash, zucchini's (sp?), or other ground growing veg, your garden is done. They are the hardest bugs to get rid of and they will destroy everything real quick! It happened to me one year, I hate them.

My question is if indeed it is a Wheel Bug, then are they related to a Stink Bug?
