#scarabaeidae — Public Fediverse posts

Since I've been hearing cicadas, last night I went out to look for emerging ones on the big willows by the lake. I didn't find any, but it was a pretty good night for beetles. A big chonky scarab, a velvety-looking click beetle, and a bunch of the glossy red-brown pole borers that always make me think of candied pecans. I haven't given into the temptation to put one in my mouth…yet.
