This new mystery thing is brighter and prettier than a Japanese beetle, thus interesting. What is it? My best guess in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Sorry for the poor quality of these pictures, but this was one bug that  did not want its picture taken. I felt like a paparazzo! Why it was  dressed in bright metallic green if it didn&#8217;t want to be seen is beyond  me. If you would like to see better pictures of this kind of bug, Google its name (see comments).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used to think of beetles as being rather plain and boring.
