What’s that bug,
I found this little guy crawling up the outside wall of my house in Bulverde, Texas in early October. He was about 1-2 inches long, six legs, black and white pattern on his body. I was just wondering what he might be and thought these photos might be helpful to you.
Thanks!

Ironclad Beetle
Dear Kelsey,
This Ironclad Beetle, Â Zopherus nodulosus, gets its common name because of its extremely hard, nearly impenetrable exoskeleton.
