Saved A Paloverde Beetle

These beetles show up this time of the year. They are about 3 inches long and look like something from Star Ship Troopers. A lot of people wouldn’t save a beast insect like this.

Would you guys save bugs like this from the pool or is the only good bug a dead bug?

Sort:  

These are harmless but they scare me anyway. One flew down the back of my shirt once. I thought it was a leaf at first. Freaked out.

Oh totally. A similar thing happen to me when I first moved here. Freaked me out real bad for sure.

What's the wierdest bug you have out in Arizona or what would someone from me from the Midwest who's used to ants and flies and stuff think is really crazy?

I know when my folks moved down to South Carolina it was very strange to me to be sitting on their porch and have a little lizard or frog jump on me. There wierdest bug is something called a Palmetto Bug, its basically a nicer name for a cockroach lol. The things gross me out so much...

Yeah the bugs freak me out for sure. I hate seeing cockroaches.

Your every post is excellent, I like it
