Size: 3-4"
Found on the patio- on a patio chair. We don't know what it is.

Wheel bug
This is a wheel bug in the middle of molting. When it finishes it will be grey. See others here. Neat find.

 
thank you
Thank you for letting us know what it is! It is a very beautiful color and it looked like two bugs stuck together, so the molting makes sense!

 
Thank YOU.
Thank you for sharing such a remarkable image:-)
