We have those here too, or their cousins at least. One of those signs of High Summer, along with the jumping spiders and lizards and antlions, a.o.

The bastards eat my Butterfly Weed seed pods.  I hope something is eating them.

Don't they excrete some smelly goo when under attack? Once in France a beetle shat on my fingers and it stank for an entire week!

I can't remember, but I don't remember "anything" earlier than two days ago... I am thinking that they do not, though I've never handled one nor squished one before.

Love the contrast of colours between the orange and the pink flowers... Beautiful !
