EEWWW This was outside! I hope it isn't one of those nasty ash tree killing bugs.

Ohh you're good!

Bugs are a hobby being a landscaper. In fact I just saw a bug outside that I have never seen before! That is a rare. I wish I took a pic because it might be chowing down on my plants.

Thanks! We just found that out too! So glad it isn't something invasive and bad......but ewwwwww!

I raised 3 boys, I knew as soon as I saw the photo that it was a click beetle.
My boys favorites were "roly Poly" bug. Not sure the scientific name, but when you touch them they roll into balls. I would find them dead in their pants all the time, they would collect them put them in their pants and forget about them.
they are in their 30's now and still have all kinds of weird pets, lizards, tarantula, scorpion, snakes, frogs, turtles... I could go on. I want a cute little dog and I have these creatures in my house.
