No problem and that goes for any of my pics
I found a bright red beetle under a rock yesterday; about the size of a lightening bug. Never saw one before in my life...
Photos or it didn't happen
You'll have to buy me a camera and then teach me how to hook it up to my computer if you want pictures.
There are some ground beetles and bombardier beetles that have parts of their bodies that are red. It could be one of them.
I was on a night trip once walking through woods when the guy I was with yelled and was shaking his hand in surprise at the sting of pain. He had seen and unwittingly tried to pick up a bombardier beetle. It disagreed with his intent.
I take it they're feisty critters?
This is an online picture relatively close to the guy I found under the rock:
@Dan From Smithville I found some old pics of the blue wasps and tried enhancing them with my new editing program. I think it is a Blue Flower Wasp Austroscolia soror. Austroscolia soror - Wikipedia
That one I'm not familiar with. But it looks sort of like a fire-colored beetle and those aren't bombardier beetles or regular ground beetles. They are in the family Pyrochroidae. I've not seen one like the picture before. Rather attractive color. Could be advertising that it isn't edible.
Yeah, I think you are correct on the ID.
Lucky for both myself and the bug, then, that I wasn't considering eating it.
If you eat a bug, nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day.
So if I want to have smooth sailing the rest of the day, all I have to do is eat a bug?
That seems so simple.
It is. I've eaten a lot of bugs. Crickets are crunchy if you prepare them right.
I used to have a coworker that ate them chocolate covered.
So, all I have to do is eat chocolate covered crickets for breakfast tomorrow, and my dishes will do themselves, the cats will scoop their own boxes, and there will most certainly be no temper tantrums from anyone....
I'm so glad you told me this trick!
Oh no. You'll have to do all that.I used to have a coworker that ate them chocolate covered.

From the sound of it, eating a bug might be preferable. I help with cat boxes and eating a bucket of bugs wouldn't make that go away. If it would, I'd have a bucket handy.I used to have a coworker that ate them chocolate covered.

Well, then I see no benefit at all...
I guess the crickets are safe again.
I'm getting tired. I don't even have a good comeback.
I'm always tired, I understand.
I have sleep apnea and allergies. When the allergies act up the cpap doesn't work. I've been struggling with it all winter. I'm so tired sometimes, I'm not even sure how I stay awake. But I do and I get things done. Just not so efficiently as normal.
