Found this beetle in our grass. We tried to identify it on the internet, but no luck. We live in Boise, Idaho. Our son loved watching it roam. We hope our trees aren’t in danger. Any guesses? Thanks-
Brandon
Hi Brandon,
Your trees are safe. This is a Giant Water Scavenger Beetle, Hydrophilus ovatus. Though aquatic, they can fly.
