Wheel Bug - Honeybee Predator

The Wheel Bug (Arilus cristatus) is a true bug that preys on soft bodied insects - most of which as considered to be pests.  Unfortunately, they also eat honeybees and this one was caught on top of one of my hives.  Bad Wheel Bug, Bad !  Their bite can be rather painful to you also so be careful !
