they come out every like 10 or 12 years

Really? I didn\'t know that!

They are truly horrid, and they really wreak havoc on one\'s garden.

Since I\'ve been living in the northeast for the past three years, I\'ve came across some creatures I wasn\'t used to seeing in the midwest.  The Bark bug, Mayflies, bats, etc!!! Man, the first time I had a bat fly over my head!!.. Anywho, I was sitting out on the deck a while ago and this big bug comes and lands by my feet.  I think it\'s some sort of beetle.  It was about the size of a silver dollar, beige in color with black spots on its back.  A crunchy critter that flys.  I\'ve looked and looked at photos online, but no luck spotting him.  Anyone have any ideas to what this is?  Thanks.
