There is a nagging question that has undoubtedly been on the minds of innumerable San Diegans in the last few weeks, let alone we Muttropolitans. It is a rather unsavory subject matter....but we know we're not alone in our bewilderment. The pressing question is as follows:
WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE FRIGGING BLACK BEETLES CRAWLING ALL OVER THIS TOWN?
At first we believed we had a major creepy crawly problem on our hands, which is rather embarassing and socially unacceptable. Since then we've learned that there is a bonafide bumper crop of black, stink-bug esque beetles ascending upon our hometown. Said beetles are commonly known as 'ground beetles' or caterpillar hunters. To learn more about this spine-tingling pheomenon, visit Black Beetle Invasion
In the meantime, the beetles provide a wonderful diversion for our four-legged office team. If you prefer your pup to play with a bug that squeaks vs. crunches, try the Squeaky Ladybug Dog Toy or the Butter Flutter Plush Toy.
