Interesting stuff you've seen today!

Let’s have a happy, upbeat thread to distract us from rain and politics and sick pets and all those other reasons not to get up in the morning!

My brother found a giant black beetle in the house, which was pretty cool. It was an inch long. I’m almost certain it’s a darkling beetle, but Professor Google is monstrously unhelpful when it comes to identifying the eighty bajillion different types of darkling beetle. Anyhoo, it looked like this, more or less, and I think it’s the second-largest beetle I’ve seen on my property. Awesome, right? :slight_smile:

So what have you seen today?

We have hummingbirds, and YouTube popped up a snoring hummer on my phone.

In keeping with the theme, I saw a huge lizard on top of one of the fence posts. Probably 8 or 9 inches long, body the size of a hot dog.
