Leaping Lizards!

A recent development in the yard is a swarm of "June bugs" appearing at dusk each night. I have never seen such a thing before, but R swears it's normal. What seems like thousands of little buzzing, flying beetles come out and swarm around the grass right when it's getting dark. I think it's gross and a little bit creepy.

In fact, she chases them around the yard, leaping through the air to catch them, so much that we have likened it to the Planet Earth video of the flat belly lizards eating flies by the river. If you haven't watched the Planet Earth series, I highly recommend it. And, since I can't take a video of the real thing outside when it's so dark out, here is a visual for you:
