Well, in a continuing saga, I just happened to check out one of the groups of eggs this morning... and, lo and behold, the eggs were hatching out! These are probably babies that only a wheel bug mother could think are beautiful, but I'm still quite excited.

I checked out several other egg clusters, and a second group was hatching too. It looks like our yard will be well supplied with wheel bugs this summer.
