leon bugaboo.
i believe that leon is a shining leaf chafer (Scarabaeidae Pelidnota).
"one of the most serious pests in this group is the Japanese Beetle" (noooooo!!!) "accidentally introduced into the eastern US about 1916. It has since spread over much of the country and severely damages lawns, golf courses, pastures, shrubbery, and fruits."
maybe putting him in our backyard wasn't the greatest idea.....
but leon's not like the rest.

oh no! my poor leon! how I'd grown attached, and now I learn he's just like the others. I have seen tons of beetles this summer, up in the sticks.
no no no. to say that leon is 'just like the others' would be like saying that any of the nhwc members 'are just like all other humans'. clearly there is room for individual excellence within any species/subspecies/genus/family/whatever it is, and leon is a cut above. as Soren Kierkegaard said "once you label me, you negate me."
yeah. leon rules. i just wanted to seem more scientific than i really am.
