I found one of these in my moth trap recently, and thought it looked interesting. Then I discovered as soon as I identified it that they are actually quite a harmful pest; they eat leaves, and their grubs eat roots. Luckily I only saw one .. but then this one appeared in my house. I hope they are not attracted to my pot plants.
Pixar should put him in one of their films as a sleazy villain. But very photogenic!
