hey /an/, anyone have any clue what kind of beetle this is? there were like 30 of them buzzing around a tree in my yard tonight. I live in mi. It also has long antenna that are thick at the end (although you can't tell in the pics).
Get those fuckers here too (Florida)Swarms of them; they're retarded and apparently can't direct their flight. Find them dead everywhere.
Those are june bugs. Now delete this thread.
we have them too and i'm in kalamazoo...I never had any clue what they were
june bugs, got em in New Brunswick, Canada. Live for 7 years in the ground as grubs, leave the ground as june bugs, mate for a week, then die. If you have semi-long hair, be warned. They stick like a bitch.
JUNE BUGS IN THEFUCKING POOL GODDAMNIT
June Bugs.I always called them night bees when I was younger.
They are EVERYWHERE around here (east Texas). If we leave the door open too long we'll find their dead carcasses all throughout the house.
What the fuck, around here in Jersey "June bug" = firefly

June Bugs. Don't worry they will be gone in four days.
They fly into fans and guro-splatter themselves all over where I live.
There's a dead one in my windowsill just as I type.
they are part of the scarab beetle family some places they are even called japanese beetles but they are essentially june bugs
JUNE BUGS OMG I LIVE IN MICHIGAN WE HAVE THOSE EVERYWHERE I AHTE HTEM SO MUCH GOMHGOMG
June bugs are gross and clingy. :(
>>270964what part of jersey do you fucking live in?we call fireflies, fireflies.
>>271617yea. you compliment one and then all of a sudden your dating. You start finding them in awkward situations like browsing through your underwear drawer. Heaven forbid you try and explain things to them. They either start crying or look at you with that blank beetle stare of theirs not comprehending anything you say.
I had a June Bug fly into my ear when I was in like third fucking grade. No idea what the fuck was happening at the time either. I was just sitting on my bed and then BAM, erruption of noise and pain in my ear. Then blood started coming out of my ear and we went to the emergency room.Had to wait until the next morning to go to an ear specialist for them to suck it out because at the time there was too much blood in my ear.For at least a decade after that I had to sleep with a pillow or arm covering my ears ;_;Fucking Junebugs, I kill them at every chance I get.
>>271724oh my God! You poor soul. That would have traumatized me for life. And I thought fucking annoying mosquitoes in your ear were bad.
>>271724this is why I sleep with ear plugs, I'd use nose plugs too but I'd suffocate...
