We saw this large beetle in late June in the mountains of South Korea. It flew onto my wife and hung out for a while before flying away. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Dear LDC,
This is actually a Jewel Bug in the family Scutelleridae, not a beetle. A few months ago, we correctly identified this species as Poecilocoris splendidulus.
