An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Any insect aficionados here that can identify this beetle(?) - my dogs tried to eat it as dogs do but they didn't like the taste so I threw it out of our yard.
First time seeing a beetle like that. I hate Reddit, but we could really use r/whatisthisbug right now.
Surprisingly it's not a beetle at all! Mattiphus Shield Bug, found in Luzon. I thought it was an invasive bug, but could be beneficial.
Going to try my luck there. Hopefully it's not poisonous when ingested.
