I thought I’d send along this picture of a wheel bug that my parents took about a month ago in Maryland. They said that he had just moulted, and when he came out of his old skin he was a shocking salmon color! When my parents went to check on him an hour later, he was brown again. Amazing. Also, I am absolutely in love with your site.

Hi Julia,
We are thrilled you enjoy our site. Tell your parents we posted their fabulous photo. Too bad the Wheel Bugs don’t stay that color.
