I’m bugging out.
Last week, when I put out a call for (and subsequently spotlighted) cicada jewelry, I received a number of submissions featuring scarabs. And they were
way too good not to share.

The scarab is actually a family of beetles of many different varieties. There’s the june bug, which is a massive insect I have vivid memories of from my childhood. The Japanese beetle, an invasive creature accidentally introduced to the United States in the early 1900s that has the reputation of being a major pest by all standards. The dung beetle, which, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to see it in action, is as gross as it is cool as hell (this is also the beetle worshipped by ancient Egyptians). And the rhinoceros beetle, which is gorgeous to look at, and also a wee bit scary.
