They are spraying the fields by helicopter today!

Showcasing some fun 'wildlife' that call the farm home. These are not june bugs. They are Big Green Beetles that are native to our area, but only in select areas! They come out of the ground for a few weeks each year and the only thing they seem to do is mate. Never see them eat anything. They never cling on you when they accidentally fly into you and are out only during the day. Very beautiful and interesting!
