I’m convinced this is standard behavior for chubby kittehs. Our holstein does it all. the. time.

Some birds hopping around eating crumbs in Katherine, NT, Australia. Maybe @Wanderfound can tell me what they are?

Found this rather large and shiny bug on my front doors yesterday:
Maybe someone here knows what species it is?

Not the easiest site to use, but definitely the most complete. What’s your location?

I do not know anything about insects, besides a mild entomophobia, but here are my hunches:

It was just a guess. Your beetle has a beautiful and shinny metallic color. The oak beetle seems to be darker, with a matte color. But it may be the same insect, right?

The one I found had kind of golden shine to it, and the one on Wikipedia is darker, but it makes sense to be of same species - great capricorn beetle typically feed on oaks, and there’s an old oak forest nearby.
While I didn’t found one with golden shine on Google image search, some are green with similar kind of shine:

There’s a feral cat who has had kittens living in my yard, and we’ve had heavy rain storms rolling through recently, so I threw together a little shelter for them.
Kitten tested…
Mother approved.

Well worth the wait! And here I was considering myself lucky to have seen nice doggies, cows, and a wild turkey all on my drive to the market the other day. I’m jelly.

Wyoming is absolutely silly with Elk and big rock formations.
Also these really weird quadrupedal Tauntauns.
