    I saw heaps of those bugs in Ohio when I was there, they have such distinct colours don't they..........all the one's I saw were mating rolleyes1.gif

    I don't know if they are a pest or not ne_nau.gif but I must say I loved how they looked to be different colours according to how the sun hit their shell.

    Thanks for sharing.......... what a great shot ! clap.gif Skippy (Australia)

    They start as grubs that eat the roots of your lawn and then emerge as these little iridescent colored devils that strip the leaves off of your trees. grrrrr. :pissed

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
