Polyphylla decemlineata
Also known as a Watermelon beetle. It was about 1 inch long, and it hissed a lot when I picked it up (in a cup). I thought it might be spraying something, but I think it was just a hiss...I didn't smell anything or see any cloud of mist. I brought it in my room and set it on a black book for my background.
It was in the hallway of my apartment. (inside)
Sorry for my absence Carol.....I just sort of stopped for a while....No reason in particular. I guess I just got busy. I might have a couple things to add pretty soon.
Thanks. Smith'sZoo
Very cool bug Adam! Haven't seen you around the water cooler on PN recently. Hope you are doing well. Have a great week!
Alice. It either hissed or was able to make some kind of hissing sound. So what are those thinks attached to it's face?....the big feet looking things.
