I saw a beetle last week that looked like a green June beetle but it had a horn. Does anyone know what it is?

Your bug is probably from the family Cerambycidae, long horned beetles.  They usually have a long antennae, and sport at least one horn.  There are Lepturinae (members of the Cerambycidae family) which feed on flowers, they are usually green but can have a red or black body as well - sport a large singular horn and feed on flower pollen.  Their larvae will infest and eat dead wood or things like your fence.  \n\nUnfortunately - and most likely, you have found an Asian Long Horned Beetle (especially since you mentioned that specific region) and not a Lepturinae.  They are an environmentally dangerous and non native species that has a long horn and usually a metallic green and gold body or one that is black with stripes of silver.  About 46 of their 50 subspecies are the colours you described.  Sadly, they devour just about everything and wreak havoc on trees.  \n\nIt could also be the Shining Leaf Chafer, related to scarabs (they look an awful lot like an overgrown June Bug) they are a golden green colour that shimmers and glitters just like metal, or a nice paint job, but they usually don't have a horn.  \n\nHopefully that helps you some.

Yes the beetle is an insect.\n\nGood rule to help you identify insect in the future, \n\nIf it has 6 legs, antennae and mandibles chances are it is an insect

Thanks Brittany, that's the one I didn't have. \nCub, calf, grub/larva, caterpillar.

Something very similar happened to me two weeks ago.I found a dead bird on my front stoop.It didn't appear to be injured and it looked like it was asleep.But ,it wasn't.I'm not a superstitious person,so I don't know anything about that.I do know that a few years ago all of the crows in our area died as a resulty of west nile virus.I suspect the dead bird I found, might have been sick from something like that.

This is sybil's first question. Try and give her a good answer.\nI'm sure someone out there has a good idea of what it could be.\nAnybody got a bird book? Cause now I really want to know too.

Are you sure it wasn't an insect of some type, like a stick insect or even a dragon fly? They can grow quite large sometimes. Either that or some bast@rd was playing a sick joke on you.....!\n\nsee the site below - there are some HUGE stick insects on there!!

It's the herpyllus vasifer spdier - and ... I recommend this website - I'm terrified of spiders and can't research this one for you - sorry!

It could be the banyon.  I'm a botanist, and know my trees, but common names are elusive.

>>>>>Is the butterfly that flutters its wings before a hurricane just a metaphor?\n\nNo, it really exists. I suggest you go out and kill the bloody thing before it causes any more hurricanes.

Click the link below for a great site that can help you identify your caterpillar. \n\nHope it helps!

There are a couple of answers here. One could be because you have a light in your pool and like most bugs they are attracted to light. Second is because they have a very short life span hence the word "june" a one month bug. And three because they are very heavy with little wings and its hard for them to fly for long periods at a time.

Contact local DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources).  These beetles live in Midwest, NE, SE

It would be really difficult to pinpoint exactly what type of creature this is. I would bring it to your local DNR for identification. I live in the UP and actually found something that sounds like you are referring to and the DNR identified it as a sub species of sea lamprey called a brook lamprey. Good luck!!!

It is some sort of beetle larva, probably a tiger beetle.\n\nSee the link below for pictures.

Sounds like a water strider:\nhttp://www.cirrusimage.com/bugs_water_strider.htm\nThese guys are very common in freshwater everywhere - even in salt water in mid-ocean. They might nip you if mishandled. \n\nIt might also be a whirligig beetle or another one of the aquatic beetles:\nhttp://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/wetland/wildlife/wild1.htm

It's very hard to tell what it might be without seeing a picture, but if you are checking out http://www.whatsthatbug.com then I'd recommend checking out the pictures of the boxelder bug and see if that matches your critter.

You may be referring to a Jerusalem cricket, more commonly known as a potato bug.  These insects aren't really crickets and don't eat potatoes, but who says names have to make sense?\n\nNext time, give us a general idea of where you live.  It'll help narrow down the possibilities of what you're looking at.
