Title: Escarabajo beetle
Post by: Archer on October 31, 2016, 09:04:39 AM
Anyone know about these beetles and if they cause problems in the garden? We seem to have had a few nights with them raining down on us! Obviously hatched out after the rain, but where have they been residing?
Pretty harmless to humans.
Update 31/10: just got back from Pozo Negro. Granja experimental confirm this beetle is not harmful to trees or plants. In fact they told me you can eat it! No thanks. :o

Swarms of them outside front door, last 3 nights. They fly and make a hell of a noise. Never see them in the day.
