Just got back in from sitting on the back steps for all about 10 minutes.

eww, eww, eww, eww, eww... i got dive bombed by 2 of them frigging things. I escaped in time but holy crap, those things are bad for the nerves :rofl:Don't wear bright clothes outside at night lol.

But I couldn't resist watching the antics - there's 2 friendly neighborhood cats in the backyard being watched through the window by my 3 indoor cats.
These 2 wacky cats are out on the lawn chasing these bugs and having a field day! My laugh for the night...

The last few years, since they show up so late in the season, I call them Maybugs. :)

Crash test buggies! They have to be the dumbest of all the bug world. Smackin' into doors and windows ect., over and over and over again. I feel so bad for them I can't even bring myself to "Raid" 'em. Nope I just wack 'em with a newspaper. hehehe

June bugs are attracted to any kind of light source at night, my cat caught one with her paws, picked it up with her mouth , well I near wet myself laughing when she instantly spit it out and gagged , lmbo I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head...lol
They have a terrible stench as well ...hahahaha now when she chases them and catches them she bats them around with her paws but that's the extent of it...hahaha

It's amazing how they lay dormant in the frozen ground all winter and come to life when the ground warms up...ewwwwwww
Had one caught in my hair once, I freaked out , hubby was laughing too hard to help remove it. Told m I owed m one ...lol

I can tell you that June Bugs REALLY suck when you're riding a motorcycle at night. They are like little explosive rocks hitting you....

Want a fun activity for the kids? First, you need a shoebox. Second, some paint.

Now go catch some Junebugs, rip off their wings and paint them.
race them, in the shoebox. Go junebug go. (Lighters are a great motivation for racing)
