Nuke it from orbit. The only way to be sure.

I flushed 6 of them, they are not smart, very easy to catch, you touch them and they don't move.

Burn everything and send the ashes to the sun.

ETA: seriously they look too round to be bed bugs - the only thing I would be frightened of.

All you guys are wrong! It's an Harmonia axyridis or more commonly known as an Asian Beetle. They were brought here to eat harmful bugs in the midwest corn and soybean fields.

ETA: They bite and it does hurt!

It's not what you have pictured. They are much larger, like 4 times that size.

Definitely not a June Bug.

It's only March. My guess is March Bug, but it's been years since I got my degree in Monthbugology and I've been working in an unrelated field.

If you collect enough of them..... they go great on a salad.

Patagonian Death Beetle.

It was nice knowing you

They fly in at night when you open the door. They are attracted to the light. Just go onto your porch and look around with the light on.

ETA: Drug Store Beetle or Cigarette Beetle

Do you have any dead spots in your yard? Grubs...June Bugs

We get them here in GA quite a bit. About the size of a Japanese Beetle. Harmless as far as I can tell. Never seen them this early though.

Looks like a Japanese beetle to me. Annoying little fuckers.

brown ball biter beetle, they hide in your bed until you're asleep and well...the name says it all

Japanese beetle relative, damned if I know which one.

New England has something commonly called the "Old House Bug" which is some kind of small beetle, but I haven't seen any in years, so I don't know what they really are.

Supposedly every fifth living thing on this planet is a beetle, so there are a shtit-load of them.

It's a Junebug, early.

Correct. Not to be confused with the ladybug beetle. Ladybug = good, Japanese beetle = bad.

City people amuse me.

You mean you don't go out at night with the wife, turn a light on outside to draw em' in, and catch them and feed them to toads??

A toad will eat so many it will swell up and be hardly able to hop any more.

Great beer drinking fun under the stars.

May beetles.

No, not June bugs. May beetles.

Their grubs are those ugly white ones you find in your lawn, with the reddish heads.
They are NOT Japanese beetles.

they belong outside, NOT IN MY BEDROOM.

Be careful. At night when you're sleeping those things crawl up into your asshole and lay their eggs. Once they hatch, the babies will crawl back out of your asshole but they usually leave a nasty infection from the decaying placenta/egg pouches.

A friend of mine had them in his house once; he recommends duct tape across your ass. Protip - shave your ass hair off first or the duct tape will be.....unpleasant when pulled off in the morning.

Better safe than sorry, man.
