Here you go. Jap beetle is 1/2 the size of June bug. As kids we tie a string on their leg and walk around with them flying around on a leash. Cheaper pet than a dog. Lol

But nephew we both are right. You got some brown ones. But that thing in your hand is a night flying hard shell beetle bug. Attracted to lights. Well looks like it. March beetle

Huh, don't remember green j-bugs.
Covered with stink bugs these days.

I'd put the j-bugs in Grannies old pill bottles.
A ripe one was on the floor of truck
and cop wanted to see what was in it.
Me - No you don't
Him - Yes I do
Me - No you don't
Him - YES I DO!!!
He told me keep those out of sight so
the druggies don't break in. lol

I’ve seen them eat stink bugs. Seems like they will “flash” if they eat a crunchy bug cause it gets stuck in the gills.

That looks a lot like what folks here call carpenter bees. they chew a hole into any unpainted wood.

As kids we used to go out in the summer time at night and send em to the moon with tennis rackets! Lol the big juicy white grubs you find when your digging up a lawn are the larve stage of a junebug. Up here we got the big brown ones.

Savell, I call them “doodie” bugs cause when they hit your windshield, it looks like a big pile of “doodie” on your windshield! If you have pecan trees, you can go out at night this time of year and they will be all over it,
Cutting the leaves off.back when I was working I would pass by 2 open fields right before sunrise and they would literally cover the windshield. As far as being good for any kind of fish bait, I would feel awfully stupid sitting there with one on my hook, waiting for a bite.

I just know that the northern june bugs really smart when you hit one on your MC at 65 mph and an open faced helmet.
