Mating Wheel Bugs

Hi JMR,
This is a they and they are mating Wheel Bugs.  Wheel Bugs do not sting, but rather, they bite, and the bite is reported to be quite painful, but not dangerous.  You should release them from their cup as they are important predators that will help keep the population of plant eating insects in check.
