Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 They are attracted to light. When I had a swimming pool I found that leaving the pool light on at night would put a hug dent in the population. Of course cleaning the skimmer in the morning was a minor chore but after some of the jobs I had as a young'un it didn't bother me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would also watch as they came in to land on the apricots and shoot them with out BB guns. Yep, and fly them too. Some people use the term June bugs to describe May beetles. June Bugs have iridescent green and bronze colorations and are quite large. May beetles, a major pest of lawns in larval stage, are mostly brown and will congregrate by droves around porchlights and especially store/mall lights. Often creating a major stench due to rotting dead beetles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I've developed a like for June Bugs. They congregate on the window behind my chair in the evening, attracted to the light ya know. Then about 1 AM, a big coon comes along and it sound like someone eating popcorn. He'll crunch on them for 30 minutes or so and move on until the next night.

He likes to buy puppies, train them, then sell for a large profit. He's qualified for the nationals several time, but hasn't won it yet. I've gone a time or two, and it is enjoyable to listen to the dogs try to work out a trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
