ID Please?
It looks to me like some kind of Weevil, but it’s proboscis is veery long and it’s front legs are almost mantid-like. Any idea? Thanks

Since we got two letters in one day from people who could not identify their Wheel Bugs on our site, it is time to post some new images. Wheel Bugs are predatory Assassin Bugs and can deliver a painful bite to the unwary handler.
