## Resource

Why are June bugs showing up early in Texas? Experts say warm, humid spring weather triggers their emergence—sometimes even before June. These harmless beetles aren’t toxic to pets, though a few might cause mild stomach upset. While they can annoy your lawn, they’re actually helpful: their larvae recycle organic matter and they’re a food source for wildlife. Try bug-safe porch lights or fruit juice traps to keep them out—and remember, they’re drawn to lights because they confuse them for moonlight or think they’re finding food.
