Aka the
North American wheel bug
or simply wheel bug,
a species of large assassin bug
in the family Reduviidae
and the only species of wheel bug
found in the United States.

The North American Wheel Bug is one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, reaching up to 1.5 inches (38 mm) in length in its adult stage.

North American wheel bugs prey on caterpillars and beetles, such as Japanese beetles, the cabbage worm, orange dogs, tent caterpillars, and the Mexican bean beetle, all of which they pierce with their beak to inject salivary fluids that dissolve soft tissue.

The North American wheel bug is most active in daylight, but may engage in predatory behaviors at night in areas illuminated by lights.

It is considered beneficial since most of its prey are pests, however, I did not consider myself a pest and didn’t care for it as my sitting companion.
