Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica), taken June 5, 2026, in Georgia, US

A group of japanese beetles hanging out together on a plant, snacking on its flowers and leaves! These beetles are known to be crop pests, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits of many commercially grown plants, especially berries. They love nice, ripe blueberries but will settle for just about anything leafy, low-growing, and green. They're known to feed on over 350 species of plants as adults!

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits is this mural of a winged scarab. It was part of the Egyptian / Greco-Roman decor of the flat., which I painted in 2001. The scarab is based on the apotropaic heart amulet, buried with Tutankahmun. The cartouche is that of Akenaten (his father).

Can we see the isopod and scarab plushies 👀? (feel free to ignore if it's too invasive)

It's raining very hard here atm and the lighting is appalling in my bedroom so I put them on the gaming table for your examination 😆 Behold the critters!

This guy's about 30cm long and is a pretty faithful recreation of a giant isopod. It's more solid than cuddly, just right as an extra pillow of sorts.
