Park-Bark Beetles

Last week when we went to the Orem Rec Center Park near our home, to play on the playground, we found dozens of these beetles.

This picture is oriented the right way on my computer...
Anyway, Jessica and Andrew holding the beetles they caught.
The paper cup method was a lot safer than picking them up as they could both cling and pinch.


April with the cup-o-bugs.

I held it but it was not a pleasant experience.  They have sharp little clingy feet and avoiding the pincers was not easy.
