We used to get a lot, not so much lately.

Is the same for many og the Christmas Beetles. We don’tget the gold one here but I recall the place writhing with them as a youngster and I hardly ever see one these days.

We had a gold scarab beetle in the house a couple of nights ago. I put it outside. I have not seen a completely gold scarab here before. I’ve seen brown scarabs (very common in October-November) and occasional yellow-brown scarabs with small patches of shininess on their head and elytra.

What a gorgeous insect!
