We call them Christmas Beetles because they are like EVERYWHERE here during Xmas.
They smell like shit though
The real name of this awesome armor plated stinky bug is the Pachnoda Sinuata:
Pachnoda sinuata (Garden fruit chafer, Brown-and-yellow fruit chafer)
Pachnoda sinuata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunno if you Yankees get these guys in Yankee Doodle Land?
They are EVERYWHERE around here during Xmas.
They eat my damn garden too!!![]()
Are you allowed to use pesticides to get rid of that sort of creature?
I was startled to find out I was not supposed to spray pesticides anywhere in the field behind my house which spawns, nourishes and propagates quite a variety of huge spiders, beetles and stink bugs, snakes, rabbits and feral cats.
Of course many of those critters are food for the other critters, but they do tend to invade my property and house from time to time, especially the spiders:
I don't mind them, but my wife has issues with spiders, so I have to take them outside to the field and then tell her I squashed them.
