I'm one to usually not care about bugs - but there has been one common bug that has always bugged (no pun intended) me and I asked around but noone really knew what it was or what it did. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/s_yb.jpg[/img] What is this bug? (Southern Michigan, USA)
Was expecting computers. It's a Beetle

Bettle Gum Mmmmmmmmmm
I don't like bugs.
Mr. common bug decided to help me out by staying on a helicopter leaf after running around and avoiding my camera lens for around three minutes [img]http://imgkk.com/i/dcg3.jpg[/img] [img]http://imgkk.com/i/usrk.jpg[/img] Sorry for the unfocusedness, I was trying to take a picture at the closest range possible without scaring the bug away so the focus dial was the least of my worries
Maybe a hyprid bug? Can you take a picture from the back ?

[QUOTE=z0nk3d;22373867]Looks like a "gendarme" (common french insect)[/QUOTE] English version would be the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebug"]Firebug[/URL] then, which looks like it'd be one. Especially since it's underside is characteristically red-black, though yours's upside is mostly black-orangeish.
Turn on the grill.
