Fish bait?

I wonder how they would be. I live in Riverside and these green guys are just every where in my backyard, I have never seen so many at one time. Heck they are in my dogs swimming pool and eating our peach tree fruit.Attachment 42080Attachment 42081

Naw we weren't even close to them when the scarin' happened. We put um in their lunch boxes at recess, and in those days the guys and gals did not sit together at lunch time. Lunch time was great watchin' them open the lunch boxes. It was another time as you rode your bike or walked to school, no Scoccer Mom's takin' their kids to school and making the traffic jamb from double hockey sticks in front of every school. A different time, today you would be charged with bullying or making a terrorist threat.

They look like fig eater beetles. They are Cotinis mutabilis, also known as the "green fruit beetle" or "fig beetle", is a member of the scarab beetle family. Figeater beetles are often mistaken for green June beetles (Cotinis nitida) and Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica); however, they do not damage lawns and fruit crops to the same extent as their eastern cousins.

Nice Google!

I know you believe nothing I say. However, I knew what they were because I have a fig tree in my yard and see them every year. I only used Wikipedia for the technical part of it. So sue me....

But they sure do scare the chicks when you put them in lunch boxes.
