I thought it was bad on mute. I should have listened to other comments and kept it on mute! I'm generally pretty unbothered by most anything on a screen but FUCK THAT THING AND IT'S NOISES!!

It's a Mango Longhorn Beetle, and if found in the US needs to be killed and reported, as it's cousin the Asian Longhoned Beetle is responsible for killing millions of pines across the rockies.
