Buggin' out


Lying on my back in the solarium of Suite F with Ponce on my tummy, I felt something fall inside my shirt.  I reached in and got a finger on it, but only pushed it deeper.  It didn't bite or sting, so I stayed put until Ponce got up and walked away.  Then I went into a bathroom and took off my shirt, and this fellow fell on the floor.  

I got it to crawl onto a wand toy with the felt wrapped around the handle, and took it back to the Suite F solarium.  The last I saw of it, it was on one of the screen supports.

Next, to hit Publish, then Google Image search.

The answer:  Oriental beetle, related to the Japanese beetle, and just as unwelcome in New Jersey.
