I should have gotten a profile pic. You can see it is there in the top image from the wheel's shadow on the bug's left side.

Just lucky I caught it before it dragged her off, dissolved her insides, and sucked her dry.
Wheel Bug on Wikipedia
Wheel bugs are highly regarded by organic gardeners because they consume a variety of insects and their presence indicates a healthy, pesticide-free ecosystem. "They're the lion or the eagle of your food web," Dr. Michael J. Raupp, an entomologist at the University of Maryland, notes. "They sit on top. When you have these big, ferocious predators in your landscape, that tells me that this is a very healthy landscape, because all these other levels in your food web are intact."
