That one looks shiny: Hercules beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This one looks matte.

Not an entomologist so... Just as long as it doesn't get in the house.

Hi, gang.

Had lots to do today, so I missed my walk, altho a mourning dove dropped by to say hello earlier. So pretty.

Probably won't be posting - headed north to visit with Mom for 11 days, so don't think I've forgotten you all.

Happy nature sightings......

LOL Sea of Grass!! Pretty kitty.

One feather is lovely too.

It is so hot not seeing much here (but I don't get up early like nomoresnow!)...except the usuals...anoles, Carolina chickadees, Carolina Wrens, Cardinals with their young. But they make for a good show too!!
