i have an impressive backlog of beetle observations that im proud of... but i havent submitted most of them. im unsure what kinda beetles people wanna see... comment or dm me anything you wanna see and ill look through my collection!
during the summertime... those of yall who leave your windows open might see these june bugs in your home... theyre those shiny little beetles that fly into your room at night and start banging into the lights repeatedly. thud... thud... thud...
here's one that many of you mightve seen before... the brown leaf chafer (Anomala obsoleta). a very common and urban species. i wanna showcase these photos because take a closer look at this normally unremarkable beetle...
notice its surprisingly beautiful legs and fuzzy white hair under its abdomen... the slight tinge of bright red on the tip of its legs... and the beautiful small patches of bluish-green iridescence hidden on its elytra among all the brown punctated shell... i love them
