Sometimes if you stop and look at all the little things around you in the world you realize how many amazing things you miss. Very cool beetle. Interesting fact: There are more species of beetle than any other organism. "Beetles are by far the largest orders of insects, with 350,000�400,000 species in four suborders (Adephaga, Archostemata, Myxophaga, and Polyphaga), making up about 40% of all insect species described."

Great photos Jared. This beetle is commonly called a June Bug. This being the month they most abundantly arrive. Ialways told my kids that the June Bug is proof that the LOrd has a great sense of humor. Watch one try to fly sometime.

Never seen a June bug? Did you just move to the area? Ride a motorcycle at night in June and you will get pelted by them.
Nice photos by the way.

Is that a june bug? Looks a bit too orange to be one but I could be wrong. I am always scooping them out of my pool.

Excellent photos! My wife grew up in Southern Alabama and she and her brothers would catch June bugs, grab a spool of thread, tie the thread to a back leg and let them fly around. Beetle kite getting too far away? Reel him back in!

Great photos Jared. This beetle is commonly called a June Bug. This being the month they most abundantly arrive. Ialways told my kids that the June Bug is proof that the LOrd has a great sense of humor. Watch one try to fly sometime. No this is not a june beetle. I have seen a billion june beetles. This is a Grapevine beetle. Here is a june beetle  Here is a grapevine beetle  If you still dont believe me, go to google and type grapevine beetle and go to images. Its a seperate species from the June Beetle. The beetle was nearly twice the size of a normal june beetle and orange with black spots.
