Today is Beetle Day! :D

[Tongue Flicker]

It was a nice day to chill today. I managed to pick-up 3 beetles from my roof deck in less than 30 minutes with me just sitting there.

Not really an insect lover but beetles have always held a special place in my heart

Beetle #1.. A shiny bronze colored fella. Flew right into my face, twice lol

Beetle #2.. Had an elytra that is somewhat frosty like a refrigerated grape

Beetle #3.. Was a nasty one. It had mouthparts that could literally bite your skin off

Picked this one outside. This'll make a perfect "tree" for a small arboreal creature. This driftwood really was the highlight of my day lol

A morning view from my roof deck. I was like, WTH?!

Enjoy your monday guys. I sure did!

Where do you live? I really like the bronze beetle!

This was the coolest beetle I ever found, it wasn't that large like typical stag beetles but bigger than the June beetles in our area. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11956325

I originally live in Bahrain (somewhere in the middle-east) but i'm currently in my resort house in the Philippines. Though a tropical country (the rest suffers from 102F), the place i'm at stays at roughly 75F coz it's like on top of a mountain, hence the pine trees lol

Very interesting Bronze beetle, I've never seen this one in my area.
