ASSASSIN & AMBUSH BUGS // Nov 05, 2018 - This Wheel Bug is one of the bigger insects and it can, if you do the wrong thing, give you a very painful puncture. The guy was trying to crawl thru my arm hair LOL

LADYBIRD BEETLES // Jun 26, 2020 (Pic 01 of 03) - Caught these two Pink-spotted Ladybird Beetles on a day lily, doing what bugs do. After this pic, she decided she did not like me taking pictures of this part of her life. The male was just along for the ride, at this time
