Imagine: you are lounging in a hammock, enjoying the sweet environs of Southern France. All is well--until you glance at the support line for your hammock and see this beetle watching you.
All right, I know that's not very dramatic. But still, Lee Ann, who endured this very event, would like to know what kind of bug this is. Please note the whacky antennae (click on the image for a bigger size). Anyone care to ID this French insect? Anyone care to rule ou the possibility that she was being monitored by the latest Interpol camera bot?
Thanks for the photo, Lee Ann.

I'm pretty sure this is a Polyphylla petiti. It's more commonly called a "ten-line beetle". Same antennae.
Polyphylla decemlineata
That thing is the coolest thing I've seen all week.
I want one.
Hell of a pet, no?
And name it something like a dog, so everyone's like "Aww" and then you bust this thing out and they run screaming.
Heh heh heh. *schemes*
Wow, what a fantastic bug!!!!! That's gotta have some pretty fancy circuitry to process the input from all that antennage.
ur all wrong...definately INTERPOL camera bot...w/o a doubt.
wow- i think this scores pretty low on the ugly scale- probably less ugly than some of the fuzzy mammals i see here. i wouldn't mind hanging out with this guy. i bet he hisses if you poke him though.
I agree with jynxkat. This guy looks like a brooch I'd want to wear. But now I also want to poke him...
He was sleepy, so we definitely DID poke him and move him around. I have a nice pic of the lil' guy crawling on my boyfriends neck. Though not quite the ugliest, you have to admit he's very weird.

I found a beetle that looks more like the one here than the ten-lined beetle -- if you go by the coloration on the beetle's back plates:
Variegated June Beetle - Polyphylla variolosa - male
I found it here:

They all seem to be in the Polyphylla genus, so at least there's a family resemblence.
They will miss the ro zeny and they will try their best to play this game to get the joy. As long as they earn the ragnarok zeny they will be happy and they think the game is very interesting. Of course they have to have a lot of iro zeny by themselves. Sure, that process of achieving will have its unpleasant and disagreeable aspects.I am lonely so I play the game and go to earn ragnarok online zeny to give my friends. They also give me a lot of cheap zeny while playing the game.
I like to earn rappelz rupees, because it is very interesting. I think if you meet the rappelz gold, you will like it too. And when you play the game well you can get some cheap rappelz rupees as the rewards from the game. As long as you have a lot of rappelz money in the game you will be strong, and you can go to buy rupees with the other players.
