They come out when it is warm at night. I've never seen them before this season. They are huge and gross beetle things that fly. They buzz around and I can hear them chewing on things and falling out of trees and flying into things. They try to fly into me. Then they cluster on the screen door and I can't get inside. One came in the house last time it was warm and they are too big to squish so I had to scoop it up and it made horrible noises at me. The dogs and I want to go for a walk, but what if they fly at my head and I'm forced to run screaming and Blossom can't keep up? I know it is stupid to be afraid and so grossed out I can't go outside because of something that is so much smaller than me and probably harmless but I can't help it. Some people have called them June Bugs but they are not that small and they are not that color. Their bodies are about the size of a quarter (at least.) Maybe I can buy a mosquito net hat and then at least I don't have to worry about them flying into my head.
I suppose I will have to take a chance because the dogs want a walk. This time I will remember to leave the porch light off so they do not cluster on the door and keep me out of my own home. UGH!
Update: I was unable to take the walk but I had to go into town to get something to eat and there were no bugs in town. I wonder if they live in the trees? Even though was super careful. one made it into the house. But it wasn't one of the huge beetles. It was a spider/ beetle combo, that flies. It appears to be a beetle, about the size and color of a normal June Bug, but it has huge spider front legs. I squished it with the fly swatter and it left a gigantic splat mark on my wall. I may have to move into town. I won't ever be able to open my door at night.
