beetle??? NO
This was taken in New Mexico just North of ABQ & has a hard shell that makes a "clicking" sound when it flips over on the concrete. This is in my driveway not too terribly far from the desert, but still in a new construction subdivision setting, all streets are paved & is not just raw land. Is it dangerous?
Thanks for a great informative site & for reassurance for those of us that don’t "know".
