Ladies and Gentlemen – The Beetles!
As in BEETLES! An acre of ‘em around the light
Struggling upside down throughout the night
Helpless, unable to turn themselves upright
And before the dawn, a possum’s delicious delight!
June bugs, June beetles, May beetles, scarab beetles, and other names. Opossums / ‘possums devour them when they are helpless on the ground or pavement. ‘Possums also devour snakes, dead animals, poop, and fleas. They are immune to snake bites, and kill fleas by attracting them and then eating them. ‘Possums are not pretty but they are most useful and should not be harmed.
