wheel bug, Arilus cristatus (Linnaeus) (Linnaeus) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae) (Linnaeus), is a moderately common, widely distributed, beneficial assassin bug that preys on man's pest insects. However, its bite usually is more severe than a bee sting, and both nymphs and adults should be avoided or handled with caution.
