June bugs. They might be the most hated insect second to the spider. As I type this I'm listening to them bounce off of my window like the dumb little goobers they are.
Since June bugs are so hated, I decided to take it upon myself to learn a little more about them. Just because.
Warning: You will be grossed out.
- Before they fly into mouth/face/hair, June bugs were once little white maggot-like grubs that hibernated in your yard's soil for 2-3 years.
- Sometimes, skunks and pigs go digging for pre-mature white maggot-like June bugs. Although I doubt pigs were munching out on YOUR lawn. If they were, that's pretty awesome.
- Scientifically June bugs are titled Phyllophaga. I dare you to call them that for the whole month of June!
- If you don't smoosh a June bug to death yourself, it will probably die the next day. They can't live for too long in the daylight (VAMPIRE BUGS!?)
- Sometimes, female flies lay eggs on the backs of June bugs. The June bugs can't reach the egg, which slowly takes over the Junebugs insides and grows from in there. What a way to die, eh? That's gross.
Hate 'em, or love 'em. June bugs clearly have a pretty awful and uneventful life. Together let's be thankful they are only around for a month.. And slay them as efficiently as possible.
Peace and luv,
Morgan
