Coppery Beetles

Uncle Chet helped the boys find a bunch of these coppery beetles on the bushes around our property. They came back from their little nature walk just covered in them - and giggling the whole time 'cause the beetles were tickling them and pooping on their hands! It was a little on the gross side for me - eww! They wanted to come into the house with them, and I told them not a chance in, well, you know! But, boys being boys, they thought the whole bug thing was pretty darn cool! Gretchen thought they were neat too - but from a distance, and not on her hands. Smart girl!
