Today I found a longhorn beetle sipping from a small puddle I made on my patio after filling a dog bowl. Although she was very cute, she was also in a prime spot to get stepped on, so I scooped up some water in one hand and her in the other, and boy howdy she did not like that one bit! She was so angry, squeaking at the top of her little beetle lungs, but after I made her a new puddle and placed her in it, she happily went right back to sipping~ Just a fun little anecdote I'd thought I'd share!
Lol this is VERY cute. I don't think most people know that some beetles and moths can make noises, so I imagine it could be rather startling! You seem to have handled it with decorum, good work. I'm glad she got to finishing her lil sippy sip :)
