Oh well; next time.


Sorry to jump in but here is your "next time".

I browsed through the beetle gallery link and couldn't find the one that seems to be common in my garden.
It has a broad, flat bright green body and long red legs.. about half to three quarters of an inch long.
I find them all over and don't know whether I should be squishing them or not.

Any help appreciated.
