Stumbled across a rare delicacy! These beetles are a highly sought after snack in rural Thailand. They're the fattest beetles I've ever seen. Literally! They are BULGING with fat reserves! I'm told they're best deep friend and seasoned with salt and chillies. Great with beer! 
These little dudes are so corpulent that they have trouble moving around. I often find them lying around the house this time of year. They don't put up a fight when you pick them up. They just sit there! They're nature's wall chicken!

I don't actually know what they're called in Thai or English. I've never seen these for sale anywhere, not at touristy places selling bugs for foreigners (scorpions) or even local markers that sell the actual bugs that Thais like to eat (bamboo worms, crickets, ant larvae).
They're June beetles!
