I had a session with Hannah and her Dad in late August, but it was so hot and humid that day I didn't get as many good individual shots of Hannah as I would have liked. Last weekend I had a mini reshoot with her and I'm really happy with the outcome. She was so adorable in her little pink dress and she smiled wonderfully for me!
We've been seeing quite a few of these guys around the yard lately. I even found one at work last week. The wheel bug gets its name from the cog-like "wheel" on its back. Reaching a length of one inch or more when fully-grown and sporting a large beak in addition to the trademark spiked wheel, they are rather intimidating in appearance. I personally think they resemble a miniature version of the creatures in the Alien films! Don't kill them, though...they prey on many harmful insect pests and are beneficial to have around.
