Tis the season

For green beetles to buzz around in So Cal, to ruin people’s fruit tree harvests.
Rocky stopped mid chomp of an apple and dropped it to chase this one down.
He has a more direct approach to these things, lol. Bag it, kill it, back to business as usual as quickly as possible.
Daisy used to catch them and take them to her special spot in the shade and toy with them. Eventually they’d usually drown in her spit
Sometimes they’d suffer a well struck paw swat. On my old phone I have a video of her like 3-4 minutes long toying with one.
Are these things everywhere?

 

Lol I’ve never seen one lol

 

Nope not here at all. Is that thing as big as it looks or is the picture just deceiving?

 

About the size of a quarter, maybe slightly larger?

 

Never seen one in Louisiana.

At least they spit it out

 

Those at least look pretty with those bright green colors. We have cicadas here in TX. And they look freaky with their big eyes and shedding skeletons left all over the place. Luckily the dogs don’t play with them. So gross.
