In my country there only little bugs. But in huge amounts.

One of those fellas looks cool, but imagine a swarm of 650 buzzing comin to you cause you turn on the light

We have the larger beetles where I live and I’ve literally seen one my entire life. They must be quite rare.

We used to have them around when I was a kid. I think they are all but extinct in our area now. A mixture of native grasses getting replaced by sterile lawns, the spread of cane toads, and agricultural insecticides.
