Beetlesunknown BIG beetle
Dearest Bugman~
This lovely beetle was discovered looming LARGE on our kitchen window screen this morning. What a way to start the day… Anyway after politely asking our 7 yr. old son to capture him/her (which didn’t take much cajoling) he is now taking up residence in our well-used screened-in bug house. Please help us to identify this beetle! I have looked all over the internet and I still have no clue. This beetle is almost 1" long and is a tannish-yellow with black spots and a shiny underbelly. *shiver* Thanks in advance!

Hi Aurellas,
You have a Grapevine Beetle, Pelidnota punctata. The adults eat grape leaves and the larva live in decaying stumps and roots of various trees.
