I know this is a beetle...and I know there are many different varieties of beetles. What I would like to know..if possible...is why we have such an infestation of them this year? Digging in the soil ...in my tropical garden...they appear by the thousands!! We have also been getting them in the house! They are very hard shelled...and they bite/pinch? Woke up with one biting below my eyebrow one night!! NOT a good feeling!!! Any help??????
