Japanese Beetle

 
 
We now have a pair of Japanese Beetles. Brock got a boy named MJ and Grace has a girl that burrows in the mulch named Midnight. It was an interesting experience just trying to communicate with the Japanese pet store staff on what I wanted or needed but they sent me home with a little case, some fruit flavored beetle jelly, & some mulch. We are not sure what any of the directions say but MJ likes to sit at his strawberry jelly and place his face in it for several hours. They are very strong and sort of hard to pick up. We are not sure if you take them for walks or give them baths but they definitely are not very cuddly.

What were you thinking?!?!?!?! Can those armored insects cross international lines when you return to the states? I really don't want to ever meet your new family members (no offense).
