For the last month I have noticed tons of the flourescent green scarab beetles flying about.

(I have seen TONS of great insects around this year-butterflies, bees, crickets and grasshoppers!)

I have seen a few dead scarabs around......My Little Frens have been catching and playing with them until they kill them! They leave the carcasses for me to pick up!

I got to thinking about how the ancient Egyptians revered both cats and beetles and what their take on cats killing beetles would be?

The front porch has been an insect graveyard, too.

The cats kill all the insects that show up to play on the porchlight. You should hear the racket they make.
