I saw these in my backyard and have no idea what they are. I am sending this pic because describing them would not give a clear picture as to what they are.

Wheel Bug Hatchlings
Hello Eric,
We just posted a letter and photo of a Wheel Bug nymph, and we mentioned that we often get sightings of Wheel Bug hatchlings in the spring. Hours later, your photo of Wheel Bug hatchlings arrived. Wheel Bugs are a species of Assassin Bugs and they are beneficial predators in the yard, but they can bite if provoked. Hatchling Wheel Bugs are often described as antlike or spiderlike, and they look very different from the winged adult with the coglike structure of the thorax which resembles a wheel.
