A beautiful bug!
My father sent me this beautiful picture of an assassin beetle (he identified it.) I was wondering if you could provide more information. Thank you.

Hi Lilian,
Assassin Bugs, like your Wheel Bug, are True Bugs, not Beetles. The Wheel Bug is Arilus cristatus. We have numerous photos and information on our Assassin Bug pages.
