	Awesome Beetle I Found...
Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Some kind of wood-borer, I think? Its body was about 2cm long. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I'll have to ask someone about that beetle though, I still haven't figured out what it is... I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	I found it drowning in the broken hottub/makeshift pond in my yard. I guess it was lucky I found it before the water striders attacked it or the Mosquitofish could pick at it to death. After I got it out it spent a few minutes cleaning itself and then flew away. I would imagine, however, that if I had not found it the water it would have been on a tree or shrub, as typical for most members of the family. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I would have taken a pic if I wasn't in the process of falling down the rockface. This little guy was 5mm max, and perfectly even red and green horizontal stripes that made it look like a elf sock. I really wish I'd been able to get a pic (instead of falling) as I just tried to look on google and couldn't find anything remotely similar ^_^

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	I found out what it is... It's a Typocerus serraticornis. And I found some type of bug today I don't think I've seen... I think it might be a juvenile Largus species (plant bugs). I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	Definitely a plant bug, but of which family--I'm thinking it's a redbug nymph but the memelytra of such juveniles are generally not so...shiny.
