As a naturalist, I get the strangest emails. I try not to check them at home, but when my phone buzzed and the subject said "June bug on steroids?" it was worth interrupting my evening chores. "The past couple nights I've heard something hit our window at night when we have lights on and each time I've thought 'that sounded like a June bug… but BIGGER.'" wrote a Museum member.

Chuckling, I wrote her back, "Looks like a predaceous diving beetle! That's their normal size!"
