I hear this high pitched “teehehheehee!” as Jules’ voice. It’s a video game sound effect from a sneaky enemy, and I can’t for the life of me remember what game it’s from. Either way, my brain has decided it fits.
Once many many moons ago a very large blue bottle fly got into my apartment and drove my 3 boys nuts zooming down at them and then disappearing again. I thought I’d make it easier for them by knocking the fly down to the floor and 3 noses instantly converged on the stunned fly. Next thing I knew my 18 lb Mozart was rapidly backpedaling and desperately smacking at his face to to try and dislodge the fly from his nose while the other 2 stared in horror. Mozie was leery of flying bugs for the rest of his life, I think he was worried about being attacked again
We had a cat, Bobcat by name because he looked like a small one, who was fast enough to catch squirrels. He never ate them, just left them as presents. Flying insects were snacks, though he left yellowjackets, hornets, and wasps alone.
Where are y’all from that you don’t know what a June bug is? This is based on a previous cartoon, so I won’t tell what the boy’s explanation is, but they are big brown beetles that are common in the summer. They are attracted to light and will land on your back when you walk past a porch light and then take off when you get inside. At that point, the cats go crazy.
June/July bugs are essentially harmless, but they do inspire ducking and muted shrieks as they dive-bomb the humans. I once managed an open-handed swat that sent one spiraling into the shrubbery, but I’m not sure I could do it a second time!

It’s kind of funny when tough, strong, alpha-hunter cats get surprised by their prey and accidentally let out a comical squeak.

I don’t like ’em either!

As I recall from my youth, June bugs are nasty and mean.

I found a dead June bug lying on the pavement in my driveway back in early May. I’d forgotten just how big they get.

Almost everyone has a phobia about insects.

Just because I carry a flamethrower when I go camping does not mean I have a phobia of insects. Nope. :-D

What are you? A cat or a mouse?

I once had a cat that always wanted to sit out on the porch under the nightlight, every summer evening, because she loved to catch them and eat them.

I had a cat (Mooch) that was fast enough to catch flies – and eat them. She was awesome. That june bug would have been toast.

But dragonflies are awesome…The only flying bug that I feel comfortable perching on me :) They have a calming effect for some reason..

A June bug is a variety of scarab beetle – called June beetle, May bug, May beetle, and similar things in various areas.

It’s not a June Bug, it’s the July Bug, as Pucky has pointed out so many times.
