It's been warm out so we have a TON of these guys hangin' around the studio.
(thank you The Internet for the photo)
They're a little bigger than a quarter and they're harmless unless they hit you at high speeds. Fortunately i've never actually had a collision with a ten-lined june beetle (at least, not at work) but with the sheer numbers of them it's not an unlikely scenario.
When i was a kid i used to go camping with my parents near Lake Arrowhead and these guys would turn up around dusk every summer. My dad named the first one Elmo, and it stuck. We found Elmos camping at Lake Tahoe too, and the ones there would dive-bomb us in the showers. They're solid little dudes.

Switch panel 2 with 3 because I have hard time to understand what was the action...

I'm gonna go now, gotta prep the igloo plans. Winter's a-comin'.
I've never seen a june beetle with stripes. Maybe this one was in a hurry to ref a beetle soccer game. (Sorry. Bad joke. I couldn't help myself.)
