The wheel bug is a very large and impressive assassin bug measuring 2.8 - 3.6 cm. I have heard that handling one may result in a painful bite.

This is a beauty! I have yet to see one of these (not sure they occur this far north). Love this shot. V

This looks like a prehistoric menace! Did you shoot this in York?
