The Beatles

Oldest son spotted this bug in the yard. He tells me it's from the order coleoptera; a beetle in the vernacular. Not a bad guess, as beetles represent 40% of all insects and are the largest order in the animal kindom according to bug-guide. Still, I couldn't find the particular monniker for this little guy. Unless someone tells me different, I'm calling him a "Davis-beetle". We videoed him, too:
Well if that beetle doesn't suit you, maybe these will:

That bug is creepy and cool at the same time.

You're right, Kate. Maybe we can call him a "Christopher Walken" bug.

Beetle dance! very educational.

Oldest is definitely not concerned about "cool", which I think works nicely for him.
