We get “June Bugs” in California. They look just like this, but are brown and fuzzy and squeak when you pet them.

Your June bugs are very different from the ones we get in Texas. Ours aren’t fuzzy, and they don’t squeak. They just clumsily buzz around your porch lights and hit you in the face.

IIRC, there's like seven different species people call "june bug".

They always fly in my hair. My dog likes to eat them.

That sounds freaking adorable and now I wish we could trade the kinds of June bugs we get for yours
