Nice find, where did you find it?
Have you ever kept any assassin bugs?

Cool! Wish I had more of those in my garden, all I ever see are stinkbugs.. and tomato hornworms, leafcutters, leafminers, aphids, grasshoppers, whiteflies, etc..

I've seen a few wheel bugs around where I live last year, I wanted to keep them but had no idea how to go about it so I just let them be lol

Nope never kept any just find them on avocado leaves.

I had a lot of wheel assassin bugs about a year ago. I actually picked 1 big one up, took it inside to look it up on the net.....then realized what it was and that its mouthparts can actually cause some damage to human hands! Luckily, this one was friendly and never tried to stab or pinch me....so I put him back on the leaf I found him because I prefer to see caterpillars live not get eaten...LOL.
