Hissing Beetle
The other night there was this HUGE (1-2 inches long) fat beetle with crazy antlers on the deck. Casey went to sniff it out, and it started to hiss at him. This was all kinda funny until the bug ATTACKED Casey. Literally lunged at him and clung to his fluffy face fur. I freaked out and ran in the house and Jeff was trying to get Casey to quit thrashing so that he could pull it off and kill it. The next night another one flew in the house- scary. My friend Amy has seen them too, so we did some online research- it is called a Ten-lined June Beetle or polyphylla decemlineta. Yuck-O!

I hope there are none of these in the garden level guest room. YIKES!
Gross!!! Are these related to the beetles killing all the evergreens in Colorado?
