    Not quite as cool as them also being darkling beetles.

    And if they could stop treating my house as if its their house, that’d be great.

        I would rather them not be in the house, but i did look them up at one point so i just get annoyed, they don’t get treated to the can of bug death.

        The ones where I’m from are often over an inch long, and can spray kinda like a skunk. They’re good for the local ecosystem and they’re mostly harmless, but you definitely don’t want them in your house. If you want to look them up I think the most common name is desert stink beetle.

            They’re not particularly trigger happy with their spray, so it mostly happens if you have a pet that finds them before you do. If you just take them outside in a jar or shoo them out the door with a broom you’re usually fine. A dog with stank face is no fun though.

              I’ve picked them up and they tend to not care, I guess because I wasn’t actively trying to squish it in my hands? If they all can spray they are extremely chill.
