Shine on, Bri.
Looks like someone forgot to shave their legs. Clearly this beetle does not have a date tonight.
Maybe he’s just not razor-worthy.
Maybe Ms. Beetle likes being Au Naturale.
And good for her, I say.
LOL!
beetlemania!
Shine on, you crazy emerald.
i used to drive a 1974 VW superbeetle that exact same green color…
coincidence? i think not!
ah hahaha!!! That was great! Beetlewax!
Don’t say that 3 times, or be prepared for the consequences!!
Wallermelon!!! OM NOMNOMNOM.
Love the iridescent green! That’s stylish.
jewel tones are soooo in this season. chic little buggy
This one deserves a matchingks tag, as the long dark strips make his shell resemble the exterior of watermelon rind.
NOMTOM, you are the king of the web. Srsly.

Shellac a resin secreted by the female lac bug mixed with denatured alcohol dries to a high-gloss sheen.
very nice! Also inventive!
I’m happy to see some attention being paid to our insect friends.
Not me!
eeks!
“Beetlewax, Beetlewax, Beetlewax.”
You beat me to it!
Aw, so pretty! Aren’t they called June Bugs? I never was sure.
What is he/she sitting on? Looks kind of eewwy to me.
Theresa, I think it’s a watermelon rind. I know what you mean, though…
Oh, I see it now! The green layer on the very bottom. Thanks, KN!
I wondered too, at first…. so disgustingly…. familiar, it looked…. then when it dawned on me, I had to laugh at myself.
To beetle… “No, it’s yours. I insist.”
Yesh! I thought it was a hand at first, with a blob of Vaseline that the beetle was sitting on. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out WHY the beetle would be sitting on a blob of Vaseline.
ooooooo nooooooooooo. June bugs even worse. They flew in my hair one time a while ago, I don’t think I ever recovered from the trauma.
going to run and hide now til the picture changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*gives leslie k a B’ankie and a stuffed-toy Unicorn*
Yeah. That’s why I don’t wear skirts during Texas summers. *pleh*
The definition of “cute” has gotten pretty loose around here!
*pets the beetle anyway*
Hands Joboo a “Good Sport” award. Soon, you’ll be smiling back at snakes, (my personal, NO,-not-cute-critter) smiling at you.
Shiny hiney!
Meg could revisit this lil’ guy/gal/ transvestite (?) a re-run, during “Tocktober!!!!
If I buy a bottle, do I get the bug too? Beautiful!
OMG Noelegy. No skirts during Junebug season…..{{{{{{{{{{{{{shudder}}}}}}}}}}}}}}, I’d be a goner fersure.
I don’t think this is a June Bug. They’re usually black. This looks more like a Japanese beetle. Ugh. Not cute.
OK, maybe it is a June bug. Googled them and some are green (although not in the northeast.)
Mebe it’s a June bug with a coat on
eew it has roach legs >_<
Is that what they’re calling un-shaved legs, these days?
It’s a Japanese beetle, and they decimate my garden and fruit trees every year by the thousands. Nuff!
That’s not a Japanese beetle. Japanese beetles are more brown and they have black and white “trim” under the wings.
It’s a green June Bug for sure! Very cute.
Shiny green bug ‘tocks –
Definitely a member of the Scarab Subfamily Meolonthinae, or May and June Beetles! Though they can be a pain at dusk, bonking me on the head, they can be very lovely creatures. May baby birds, baby skunks and baby crows get these as their first full meal!
These are not destructive and invasive Japanese Beetles, though they are related. Some of these Scarab family members have some of the most fantastic iridescence in the world.
