Feburary Bugs?

[AllenK RGV]

My flock and dogs enjoyed last years Junebugs, but this is my first year experiencing Feburuarybugs! The chicken keep coming up to the front porch asking me to find them more in the morning after they have eaten them all. Edit sorry for the shading from the lens hood in the lower right I didn't want to mount a speedlight on the camera to remove that as this wasn't a for profit photo.

Sorry I'm not sure what your question is

Wasn't really a question, but we had about 1000 of these little buggers on the deck/porch this morning that the security lights brought in over night. My five hen cleanup crew went to work in a hurry so I wouldn't have to crunch them under my feet they are considerate like that. They look just like June Bugs, but are small, I used a penny in the shot for size comparison.

I have never seen this insect before in my life.

If you show some from the dorsal side, we might be able to identify them for you. They almost look like japanese beetles. Do a google search for "beetles found in Texas" and you should be able to id them.
