CindyMyLifeIsLit Wow! Our June bugs are just fat brown bugs that buzz loudly and fly right at your head and face! 😫 I‘m not a fan. 😁 3y
SamAnne @CindyMyLifeIsLit the PNW variety is called a Ten Stripe June Bug. They careen all over my porch and always seem to land on my head. I‘m kind of fond of them. The@ones in the photo are all males. The crazy antenna are for seeking out the pheromones of females. Not sure why they are wasting their time on my hand….they need to go get busy! 3y

CindyMyLifeIsLit Yours definitely look more interesting! I guess it doesn‘t help that the brown coloring makes our June bugs remind me of roaches! 😱 3y
Reggie I would totally call these watermelon bugs. The striping. Nice pic! 3y
charl08 Wow. They look a bit like boiled sweets to me. The wonders of nature. 3y
magyklyXdelish I have a terrible fear of bugs and especially June bugs since we get them so bad here. I could never hold one let alone several 😱😱😱😱😱 3y
TheAromaofBooks LOL I love it!!! I definitely looked up your Ten Stripe bugs yesterday because I'm a geek like that 😂 Ours are just the boring Midwestern solid brown variety, but I love them nonetheless. I love the faces on your bugs!!! Hopefully they all eventually flew off to find love last night haha 3y
SamAnne @TheAromaofBooks LOl I geeked out on them too last night doing the deep dive on the internet. I didn‘t realize they can cause serious crop damage in places. We have so few….I also learned that those I have on my hand are males and the elaborate and beautiful antennae are for detecting pheromones released by the females. Where are the ladies hanging out? #Junebuglove. 3y
SamAnne @magyklyXdelish LOL. It occurred to me this morning that maybe some Litsy friends don‘t want photos of large bugs in their Litsy feed….😂😂😂😁😁😁 3y
rabbitprincess Our June bugs are the brown ones too. I‘m with @CindyMyLifeIsLit — ours are gross 😖😖😖 (edited) 3y
