WOW Look at what's in Her hands!

Are they tasty?

Another Mandela Effect! I agree, never heard of such a thing in 68 years!

i want a garden full!!!

Yeah yeah, it's a cock right?

Fool me once...

Nice chrome

Exactly right!!



Now, that's weird!! NONE of the large beetle tweets were there, with that disgusting video. UGH! NO! Filthy disgusting bugs! They're like huge roaches coated in gold: no thanks!!! I don't care if the buy is 'pretty' bugs are ugly, a nuisance and the stuff of nightmares!! NO gold beetles for me, thanks!

I also hate butterflies (and the stupid dumb humans who rave abou them!!) and, especially, lady bugs. UGH! When I was a kid they taught me to guide lady bugs to crawl on my hands. I still remember the day one opened its wings and flew away: nasty filthy black thing in the middle!

Then I looked at a butterfly: without the wings, it's a nasty black bug in the middle, too! NO THANKS!!!! I bet the golden turtles up above are also disgusting looking when upside down. Skinny legs and black, black, black. UGH! NO thanks!

Coolio!

They look like they right out of The Mummy’s tomb.

They might eat you up gone bye bye.

Thanks for the doom break! Nature has some very interesting and beautiful critters on this planet!

Keek keek keek keekch… yoo noe dass rite!

WOW !

We have the green iridescent one in my garden and they destroy plants. They are beautiful but they will destroy your garden.They really are a headache.

Hey glad they brought Joy and wonder beauty to most anyhow.

And learning some things about our world you didnt know or see before.

TY for replies, and have changed the title for Wordsworth ever so slightly lol from Look at what's in my hand to as title, and being factual as it is both of that gender I am not, and for more giggles click bait for not what is expected...

May God Bless You

Yeah sounds like you're describing the Japanese Beatle. They, the Japanese Beatle reek havoc on many beautiful plants, roses, grapes, berries, magnolis. Been killing them here for 2 years. You have to capture and kill'em there is no natural predators in USA from these creatures except people.

^ Yep! Seriously there are not welcome!

At 18 seconds, one of them dropped a deuce on that girl's finger.

That was the first thing I thought. How could I have gone 50 years and not seen either one of these??

I pay attention to animal videos, too.

Totally Amazing !!!

Oh how very Very beautiful!! I once saw a lil spider in my garden, looked just like a bead painted in various colors, too gorgeous. And of course Mantises, especially the big green ones, so special and majestic. Nature is so wonderful. One of the most unforgettable experiences i had in my life, was holding a huge black tarantula in my hands. There was an almost spiritual element to it, the way it felt so velvety and delicate. And i got the feeling of this precious life im holding in my hands, when someone else could so easily toss it on the floor and stomp it like it was nothing.

Mandela tards we ride!!

They are rare, and very environment specific central american cloud rainforest's for the Golden Beetle or "Jewel Scarab" and Asian forests for the Golden Turle ones..

So it is why they are not so well known...in our memories...

It is not mandella affect ahem...as some say for example Poe the great Poet wax's lyrical about them long ago, or a very similair species from continetal USA, and as a thanks for sharing experinces here of the other similair types green etc some have posted about...

"In Edgar Allen Poe’s The Gold Bug, the protago-
nist describes a species of “scarabaeus,” from
South Carolina: “It is of a brilliant gold color
– about the size of a hickory nut – with two jet
black spots near one extremity and another longer
one at the other.”

In Poe’s story the golden beetle is dropped to
the ground through the eyesocket of a human skull.
By digging at the spot where the beetle landed, a
treasure of real gold coins is found. Students of
Poe’s writing suggest that the passage of a golden
beetle through a human brain case is an allegory
for the acquisition of knowledge. Interestingly, such
a beetle, Pelidnota punctata (L.), is found in South
Carolina and may have served as the inspiration
for Poe’s story, though it is more shiny yellow than
gold.

Truly metallic gold-colored scarab beetles are
found in the genus Chrysina (Fig. 1), whose very
name is derived from chrysos, the Greek word for
gold. The first society of entomologists, founded in
London in 1745, was called the Aurelian Society
from the Latin word for gold, aureolus. Chrysina
beetles are also known as “jewel” scarabs (Cave
and Hawks 2001), because in addition to the gold
and silver species, many—actually, most—are
emerald green (Fig. 2), with some spectacular spe-
cies having combinations of green, gold and silver.
They are prized among collectors to the point of
an inordinate fondness, some would say obsession,
known among aficionados as the “green fever.”
Entomologists are truly treasure hunters!

For the above and a lot about these alluring beetles of many differant types..

There are millions of beautiful creatures on this earth or in the sea most people will never see.

Most people will never see an octopus shapeshift. All of you must watch the Documentaries on the octopi available to show you what is possible in nature. The florescence of the Firefly is another fascinating phenomenon.

Other types:

Only if you're Klaus Schwab. The unwashed masses just get the June bugs.

Wow, that color!!! Gorgeous critters.

These were mythical, like unicorns. I've only had 49 years, but I poured through all of last century's National Geographics when I was a kid and was always watching nature shows. We would have seen these already. Something's coming. They're just trying to slide these in under the radar as if they've always been here.
