If insects had a sense of foreboding, we suspect they would tremble
in their exoskeletons when the Wheel Bug comes to town.
Wheel Bugs are unmistakable in appearance and highly efficient at
killing and eating their insect prey. For a photo essay about these
six-legged predators, please visit the Web site for Hilton Pond
Center for Piedmont Natural History and check out "This Week at
Hilton Pond" for 1-7 Sep 2003 at
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek030901.html
As always, we include a tally of all birds banded during the week,
plus a photo of a just-banded Red-shouldered Hawk that got caught in
our hummingbird nets.
Happy Nature Watching!
