wheel bug nymph - Arilus cristatus

wheel bug nymph - Arilus cristatus
Assaria, Saline County, Kansas, USA
June 5, 2007
I am fairly certain that I have identified this as a wheel bug nymph in comparison to other photos I saw on this site. I wanted to post this in comparison to my next photo as I am not sure what it is. Am wondering if it is a different stage of this same insect.

Juvenile wheel bug.
Nice image of an immature wheel bug, Arilus cristatus, indeed an assassin bug. The other image is a soldier beetle, not even closely related. Please unlink.

 
thanks Eric
Nope, not even close(LOL). That's why I asked.
