Ten-lined June Beetle – Polyphylla decimlineata

June Beetle Polyphylla decimlineata

Just the other day one of these fellows visited my home. I was surprised at how large he was and startled when he hissed at me as we tried to catch him to remove the lint from his legs and put him back outside.

He got some lint hanging out at my house.
