bugs..again...

[Guest guest]

wha-wha-what? I have never heard of or seen any of these. I have a

somewhat funny stink bug story, tho:

 

I fished a pretty, pretty green " true " bug out of our pool when I was little

and was so proud of the pretty bug I found, I took it to show my mom. Her

eyes started popping out of her head and she told me to put it down

carefully and wash my hands. That's when I found out what a stink bug was.

(My mom knows a thing or two about bugs, too and is also a huge fan of

walking sticks)

 

I wanna see the beetles with the fuzzy butts!!!

you would never know - they look about the same but are real big and fly.

settings? I could see being bothered by them if they were in my apartment

breeding, but I think it would be neat to see them flying around outside. I

heard that Fla gets some really pretty exotic -- almost tropical -- beetles.

I want to go somewhere tropical just to look at the beetles. Big, shiny,

metallic, herbivores (well, most beetles are herbivorous anyway...) I think

I've seen some stag beetles and rhinoceros (sp?) beetles, on the east coast,

but they are tiny in comparison with their tropical cousins.
