Bug of the Day
I am getting weird Gulliver's Travels vibes from this photo of a May/June beetle (Phyllophaga sp.) that turtled at the light last summer. If I had art skillz I would draw the ropes these flies are obviously using to keep the beetle tied down lol.

ENGERUB | The Grub Pokemon
Ground/Bug Type
(Engerlinge = An old german word describing all larvae of the family Scarabaeoidea | Engerlinge+Grub = Engerub)
POKEDEX ENTRY:
The name “Engerub” actually describes two species of Pokemon that are hard to differentiate. Only the distinct
Y-mark on their buttocks reveals which of the two beetle
species they’ll evolve into.
The thick layer of protective fat makes this grub a highly sought after meal for Flying-type Pokemon.Thus Engerubs rarely dig their way up to the surface and mostly stay underground. Farmers and Forest Rangers consider this Pokemon to be a pest for eating away at the roots of trees and hedges.
Hey guys! SURPRISE! I made a Fakemon for a change! :D I'll be sharing its evolution over the course of this week! I made 9 Fakemons in total and am looking forward to sharing them with you guys! :D Hope you'll enjoy!

do you have a favorite beetle? my backyard gets this type alot (idk what theyre called) and they hang out with me and seem really friendly! the one in the picture hung out with me for hours!
I THINK that’s a type of shield bug/stink bug potentially? Or a conifer seed bug it’s sorta hard to tell from that angle. I’d say my favourites are probably stags and rhino beetles! But I also have a super soft spot for Green June beetles (Cotinis nitida) because I saw them a lot growing up!

Guys, I am dead serious here - if these came in a supersized version that was like the size of a Pomeranian, I would be walking around town with one on a leash ;-D
