...And I thought I was having a bad day
The day wasn’t actually that bad… but I saw this on my front porch and just had to pause.
This is an unused hanging flower pot. As I was walking by, I noticed a flash of iridescent green. Intrigued, I looked closer.
It’s a little hard to see in the photo, but this is a good-sized Japanese beetle. Actually, to be more specific, it is a good-sized Japanese beetle’s butt. The head is stuck in the hole. The beetle, near as I can tell, is dead.
I think that’s a pretty good definition of “a bad day”… or, maybe just “a bad idea”.
