The Monsoons bring to life some of God's best work.
From what I could research they have poor eyesight and rely on smell to locate food sources.
They are fond of fresh figs of course who ain't:).
They are also fond of cactus fruits which are also good but they
also like compost and decaying stuff, we'll let them do that though;).
Here is the FIGEATER BEETLE: Scarab family
Green Fruit Beetle
Western Green Fruit Beetle
A beetle with super cool green iridescence to which my photos do not do justice.
The larve are known as "Crawly Backs" since they push themselves around on their backs. I do not believe I have seen these.
We seen these often in 2023.
