Beetle Verde



I found this little guy creeping along my front steps today... he was a pretty bright green color...

Yes, he's a very nice green, almost iridescent. Your photos are very good, Brian.

By the way, we only got to 98 in Portland itself. Out east in the Columbia River Gorge, one town made it to 109--yuck!

Wow! Not sure I would have gotten that close. He's a very interesting bug though. :)

Where I grew up, we called these June Bugs. I know it's local because most other "June Bugs" people describe are not green. I love these bugs. They don't leave a nice smell on your hands after you catch them, but we used to tie threads to their legs and have flying pets when I was a kid.

UGH (But nice photo).

Yuck!!! I do not like bugs; however, I do like good photos. :)
