It's #WheelBug time! No touchy!

North American Wheel Bug (Arilus cristatus) in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on June 13, 2024

Look at this #WheelBug visiting our front door! #insects
@bugblokenz I don’t know if this is fair, but I keep a Sandmarc macro lens always attached to my phone for fear of seeing interesting insects and not being able to photograph them. From this afternoon’s walk between the hospital and clinic, here is a Yellow-collared Scape #moth, a #WheelBug and a Blue-Eyed Ensign Wasp!
