Photo May beetles/June bugs/June beetles Believe it or not, a young boy (10 years old?), Josiah found this bug during Kris' Birding Walk. He's so observant that he found last year's red-eyed vireo nest as well. Naturalist Matt of Arboretum identified this bug as a "June bug." I (a Japanese) have heard of June bugs, but never seen this bug before. "Josiah and Matt, thanks for showing this June bug." This pic was taken on Kris' Birding Walk at the Roberts Bird Sanctuary, Minneapolis, MN on April 17, 2012. アメリカ土着の虫。アメリカ人なら、誰でも知っている虫の一つ。カナブンとは異なるようです。
Here is a story from Americans' Views: What does the Average Joe think of when “June” is mentioned? June 6月と聞けば、アメリカ人は、何を思うのでしょうか？
May beetles/June bugs - these are the large (3-4cm?), slow-flying brown beetles that most often show up in May, but I am pretty sure they can appear in June as well. Sometimes they emerge in large numbers. I remember one warm, still summer night they swarmed over a neighbor's tree. He had an outdoor light on his house, and we were swatting them out of the air with tennis and badminton rackets. It was cruel, but we were kids. We didn't like it when they would fly into our faces while riding a bike or running around. < http://www.cirrusimage.com/beetles_June.htm >
