I live 30 miles west of Fort Worth and even as much as I hate them I'd never move back north. If you want a reason not to move here here are some better ones: scorpions, red ants, copperhead snakes and water moccasins. All can be controlled by organic measures or if your really out in the country (or have understanding neighbors) use guinnea hens (they love copperheads!)

I would not see the sun or moon (if you have the night variety) for the whole summer! June bugs are ugly, nasty and noisy. Yikes! That solves it, I am not moving to Texas.

Our cat loves to play with them... personally, I'm totally creeped out by them. Unfortunately here in my area they come in March and don't leave until September/October... UGH! Cindy,

It is almost September, and I barely saw a few just a week ago or so. I know our world is going all out of whack, but would our insect side of the world be affected so? Just curious...

I found a wonderful way to get rid of them, I cut milk bottles, leaving the handle and the bottom up to the handle, I make a solution of molasses and water and hang the milk bottle with the solution off my fruit trees, the june bugs love it and have a wonderful death drowning in their favorite food, every year I kill thousands of them!

Absolutely love the mop story. One night in Northern Michigan we had a bon-fire, June bugs are common at our bon-fires but this night they were abundant. I've never laughed so much and so hard in all my life. These bugs are the best entertainment ever. All of a sudden someone would jump up and do what I now call the June Bug dance... running in place, arms flailing violently, screeches and screams. Then the person would sit back down. Then another person would start. It wasn't nearly as funny when it was my turn. What I think is amazing is that we stayed out there. I was very pleased to read on another post that they don't bite or sting. Maybe now I can keep the flailing under control since I know they won't bite me. I was told by someone years ago that one clamped on to him and wouldn't let go and that it was painful.....maybe he just freaked out and thought it was biting him. They do have grippy legs.

Yuck - they really creep me out. I've always liked the green ones, though. Our dad used to catch one & tie a long string on its leg, then hand the other end to us. We'd fly it like a kite - until it wrapped us up in the string! This year has been an especially bad year for the big green June bugs. We have an unidentified tree in our front yard that has thousands of the things clustered on it. They are after the fruits (small pinkish berries), probably due to the amount of water in them since its been a very hot, dry summer. I never realized those nasty brown beetles were June bugs too.

I too stay indoors when dusk comes & the heat is intensified...you can hear them buzzzzing everywhere. I go into a complete frantic if I even think one of those creatures has made a landing anywhere on me or even gets near me. I thought I was the only person who goes hysterical when these creatures get near me. I laughed so hard after reading some of these posts. The mop story was the killer...lol. It made my day to know I was not alone.
