Wheel bug nymph

This is a wheel bug nymph which is considered a beneficial insect. It is scouting for insects to eat in your pole beans. So this is one to watch as it controls any insects that might want to eat your beans!
As it grows it will molt a few times and turn into a large gray bug with a spiky looking 'wheel' on its backside behind the head.
They evidently can bite with its long piercing sucking mouth parts and if so it is said to be very painful.
Here is a website with more information about the insect and at the bottom of the page about treating its bite.

That would be a wheel bug.
