    We get “June Bugs” in California. They look just like this, but are brown and fuzzy and squeak when you pet them.

      Your June bugs are very different from the ones we get in Texas. Ours aren’t fuzzy, and they don’t squeak. They just clumsily buzz around your porch lights and hit you in the face.

    “This beetle merely wishes to join you in the celebration of the birth of a particular Palestinian prophet, and would like to encourage you to consider including beetles into your festive goodwill”

    It isn’t one species. It’s a bunch.
