I think this is a Watermelon Beetle, Ten-Lined June beetle (Polyphylla decemlineata) It banged itself on the wall a few times last night. This morning I saw it on the ground, it is dieing

#1 - I think it's in the Tettigoniidae (Katydids) family. Forgot what 2/3 is. The eyes look fake! I cropped the pics to zoom in on it.

of course an anchor bug couldn't visit me right?  thank you carolyn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomidae Many stink bugs and shield bugs are considered agricultural pest insects, because they can create large populations; they suck plant juices and damage crop production, and they are resistant to many pesticides. However, some genera of Pentatomidae are considered highly beneficial; the anchor bug, which can be distinguished by the red-orange anchor shape on the adult, is one example. It is a predator of other insects, especially Mexican bean beetles, Japanese beetles, and other pest insects. |
