what bug is this?!
This guy was hanging out on my back step. I left the door open for the longest time, afraid to smoosh him. The eye spots are wild. Anyone know who s/he is?
Rose rightly identified it in her comment as an Eyed Click Beetle. See more information here, and here including, “In hot weather, they are prone to enter people’s houses at night if entries or windows are left opened.”
This one did not “click”, although we did find it upside-down later on, so perhaps it clicked when we weren’t looking.

I was going to suggest http://whatsthatbug.com/ but looks like Rose hit the jackpot already.
