Taken in September in Connecticut. I’ve read that the “M” marking rule is not perfect, nor color/symmetry. Mainly wanna know if they are invasive or not. They aren’t pests (for now), just was on our porch.
Is that some kind of fungus growing on its shell?
It appears that is quite likely the case https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/green-beetle-hangers.htm
I believe so
I think its harmless?
