Your letter to the bugman: This bug was on the front steps during the afternoon. When I nudged it aside it hissed. It has large fuzzy antenna and yellow speckles on a black body. It is about an inch long.

Dear Annette,
Variegated June Beetles can produce a hissing sound by rubbing parts of their body together, an act known as stridulation.
