That's my guess as well.Some sort of beetle or cockroach?
I can guarantee you it is not a roach or even similar to one lol. It would have been squashed without hesitation if it was a roach and I would now be moving the birds outside so I could spray my home with dreaded poisons... there really are not too many creatures I react (crazy) badly to but roaches are one critter that would see me take things to the mega extreme! Roaches are not welcome in or near my home and if I was to find one inside my house I would honestly be going mad right now moving cages and raging with disgust, I would not have even opened AA if I had of found a roach in my home cos I would be way too busy moving birds, spraying poisons and trying not to get taken away by the men in white coats! I have a real dislike of roaches and two other particular insects and they honestly bring out the crazy and un-rational behavior in me- not a sight those who have witnessed it will ever forget lol.Hubbie states that is for sure not a cockroach.
Some kind of beetle.
The pictures I posted are of one beetle. Picture of back and belly.Those are pictures of two different beetles you've encountered? If you look up Carrion Beetles, see if they match what you are seeing.
I actually thought dung beetles were more likely found in Africa or more arid temperatures until I googled Dung Beetles in Australia! Seems there may be a few species there.Hmmm I wonder how it would feel if I gave it a dog turd?? lol
I am pretty sure the bug I mentioned earlier is the one I have although the dung beetle is a close match!
Thank you!! Pie Dish beetle matches him the closest of all the beetles I have looked at!!Those are pictures of two different beetles you've encountered? If you look up Carrion Beetles, see if they match what you are seeing.
The farmers who raise cows love dung beetles I am not sure if we have any in our area to be honest but looking at a picture of a Pie Dish beetle I am now confident that he is a Pie Dish beetle!!I actually thought dung beetles were more likely found in Africa or more arid temperatures until I googled Dung Beetles in Australia! Seems there may be a few species there.
I'd have a giant hissy fit if I saw one of those in my pie!!!!!The farmers who raise cows love dung beetles I am not sure if we have any in our area to be honest but looking at a picture of a Pie Dish beetle I am now confident that he is a Pie Dish beetle!!
You should see me when there's a red-back, can't even bring myself to kill them.I can guarantee you it is not a roach or even similar to one lol.
