I found this pink bug with wings and long antennae eating another smaller version of its kind on my screen window. It has a loopy thing on its head underneath that looks like a hook. It has pepper sized black eyes. I have multiple pics.
CLOSED: Flamingo Pink Buggy?
Here's another pic. (still more to come)
Here's its belly.
Another pic.
ASK ME IF YOU NEED MORE TO HELP IDENTIFY!!!
Thanks!
It also has a spiky crown-shaped thing sticking out on it's back. You can kinda see the lump of the crown on the far side of the bug. The backside of it is what's facing the camera.
Another picture of the bug I just named Beatrice. (don't ask.... =P )
Is that Piglet in the last picture? Please see that he is safe.
Look at these Wheel Bugs, do they look like the right shape at least?

I guess they can be pink when they're newly molted:

Piglet is safe. Beatrice is in a ziploc bag. To be released soon..................cuz that's the one! Thank you so much!
I let her go carefully after reading about the bites. Good thing I caught it in the bag the way I did! Ten times worse than a hornet's sting.......wow. Beautiful insect, very powerful beak. Again, thank you!
You're welcome!
