I just saw my first one!! Those phat, slow, aim right for me, right for my hair and no matter where I run they will bump into me and freeak me out! And at some point I will inevitably find one in the bath tub drain catcher crawling around or in the dog water or my water or on my pillow and hanging half out of the cats mouth!!
I hates JUNE!

I don't know about that ... a lot of those "survival" shows talk about all the protein in insects. Riding with your mouth open can start your recovery meal early.

I better not find one on my pillow, tangled in my hair or you're gonna hear one hell of a shriek. Yeah, I shriek and I'm not afraid to do it.

ME TOO!!!! As a little girl I wanted to be a "bug doctor"(entomologist) and I was ALWAYS so excited when summer came and I saw the first one of the season!

They're horny little suckers too! If you catch a whole bunch and observe them you'll see what I mean... (haha that might have been TMI, oh well I was a bored preteen what can I say)

Now, it's fun to watch my cat go CRAZY over them and chase them all over the yard!

What ya got to do is tie a string to a back leg and you can fly them like a kite.

I have really fond memories of Junebugs.. warm summer nights when the light outside would attract the Junebugs. They would be sitting out in the driveway under the glow of the light and I'd run around them as a little kid, trying not to step on them.

I associate them with summer, with warm nights, with my youth..

I love june bugs! I don't see as many of them now that I am living in the desert. We used to get a ton of them in Long Beach, my poor daughter would just totally FREAK OUT if she saw one on the screen door.

What timing. I literally just opened up the garage door so the kid could ride her bike to school and low and behold, the first JB on the ground.

I though to myself, here we go...
