Wheel Bug
Caleb and Rudy were playing outside one afternoon when I heard Caleb screaming. I ran outside to see what happened, expecting to see blood and guts or broken bones. Turns out, he had picked up an interesting bug in the driveway and it bit him. After some investigative searching online, Rudy found out that the bug was called a wheel bug or an assassin beetle and that its bite is reported to be 10 times worse than a hornet's sting.
Moral of the story: DON'T PICK UP UNKNOWN BUGS IN THE DRIVEWAY!!!! Somehow, I doubt my 4 year old bug lover learned that lesson, though. Oh...and he's fine. We watched his thumb closely for a day or two and it didn't swell, turn colors or fall off.
