This morning, Pearl presented me with a large palo verde beetle. According to Bill, she was chasing it around the yard and playing with it, yesterday. This morning, it is quite dead and I declined, with thanks. She proceeded to decapitate it and leave the parts lying on the patio.

Periodically, she attempts to give me the body. She is very proud of her catch.

This is a palo verde beetle: http://www.bugsincyberspace.com/palo_verde_beetle.html

I think that she, like Ike, is confused about her identity.

I used to wake to presents from Toes on the pillow next to my head. Thank God they were all toys (and one bird from a fake flower arrangement which did scare the heck out of me).

That particular species is the largest beetle, found in the US. The one that Pearl brought me was a bout 3" long. Thank goodness, they're only harmful to palo verde trees.
