Bessbug, native to NC. Sally Kneidel |
Found this huge Bessbug in the backyard, displaced by our whacked-out
climate. Bessbugs are cool – one of the only beetles that live in groups
and raise their young communally. And communicate by squeaking! The
rotting logs they live in are dried out from the drought, and they’re
already threatened by habitat loss in general. I love Bessbugs. I wish I
could protect them.
