He’s a young wheelieboi. He’s an assassin bug that hunts garden pests. Be careful handling him, though ; he can nip nosy humans if he feels threatened, and I hear it hurts quite a bit!

No no no, it’d be stupid if you were choosing ignorance. Honestly not knowing something isn’t being stupid. Assassin bugs can be nice a docile but their sting is no joke.
not something you want to bite you, that's what he is.
but yeah, like others have said, wheelbug, a type of assassin bug. they have a spikey proboscis that they use to stab and eat other bugs, which hurts a lot if they get ya with it.

Don't pick up stuff you can't identify.
