World Wide Web tells me this is a click beatle

@SKT The true headbangers of the insect world.

@goosehd ha! Didn’t even realize I spelled it that way.

We didn’t get the huge cicada hatch I had read about, but I’ve spotted a few recently

@SKT I hear them all the time, don’t think I’ve actually seen one this year though.

Chunky guy!

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot We need more of them for monarch butterflies in the garden

@popvulture It is eating lots of food to turn into a beautiful monarch butterfly.

Quite taken with this little guy who’s just moved into my kitchen. Possibly a least carpet (Idaea rusticata).

Got some cool shots of a cicada emerging from its shell. Unfortunately ants attacked it while it was coming out.

@SKT I won’t see anything cooler than that all day

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot beautiful!

Outside with the Butterflies.

@twin Great shot of a beautiful butterfly. The best I could do today was a Meadow Brown and a Small White, which is pretty standard. It’s a good day if I spot a Red Admiral, and if a Peacock turns up I’m ecstatic!
