I was at the plant nursery today. For reasons, my 6yo had a beetle in a jar which we had brought to be identified by a knowledgeable friend who was also going to be there. I loaded up my plants in my car and as it was hot out, packed kiddo into the car with the AC on while I helped my friend do plant tetris in her car 2 spots over.

Looked up, noticed two adults standing by my car and immediately think oh god they think i left my child in a hot car and went running back over.

Friends, my son had taken it upon himself to roll down his window and invite these strange adults to come look at his beetle. They evidently wanted to see it because they all seemed to be chatting and having a lovely time. (BTW the beetle turned out to be a lady stag beetle. She was returned unharmed to her habitat)

Not OP, but I went looking and here's all about stag beetles. https://ptes.org/campaigns/stag-beetles-2/stag-beetle-facts/

Easy to see why they'd be asking their bug friend, since the "lady stag beetle" doesn't have the antlers.
