Surprisingly it's not a beetle at all! Mattiphus Shield Bug, found in Luzon. I thought it was an invasive bug, but could be beneficial.
Any insect aficionados here that can identify this beetle(?) - my dogs tried to eat it as dogs do but they didn't like the taste so I threw it out of our yard.
My greenhouse mantis is thriving. Unfortunately I don't see any other mantis around so no mantis babies.
Dinala sa vet kasi akala namin nagsusuka. Pina-cbc/blood chem para sure walang sakit. Ayun, wala nga. Goodbye 4k 😭
Dahil dyan scheduled na ang kapon nya (at nanay+kapatid).
So, tinakasan na nga ako ng butihing aso ko kinailangan ko pang buhatin pauwi kasi ayaw na maglakad. Sakit ng braso ko tuloy.
My rescue being dramatic and tired but I carried her most of the way during our walk 🙄
