Have you noticed the beetle swarm currently afflicting southern California? Unlike any time before, I've been seeing big black beetles everywhere. I thought they were stink bugs, but it turns out they're a related beetle. One distinction: they can fly! One similarity: they can stink!
They're called Hunter Beetles and Biola's swarming with them right now. Since I help with the pest control in the residence halls on campus, I hear about this sort of thing. Plus co-workers and employees have been complaining about them, too. And, of course, I'm seeing them everywhere. I think it's pretty cool, and just found an article from the OC Register about it.
