I would Play Dead, Too!

I saw a Milkweed Bug playing dead and then I saw this insect. I don't blame the Milkweed Bug! The Wheel Bug is a large assassin bug and their bite can be extremely painful for humans. I was very careful while shooting.

Wow. Great pic. We had one of these on our door once. They look so cool, hard to imagine they have such a painful bite.
