Bug on palm tree?

[IndiaHawker]

Could've sworn I just saw some form of beetle on my palm tree before accidentally scaring it off! Maybe I'm going mad but really didn't look like an atlas moth... is it possible to get beetles on them yet (not tt-ing) or am I just going mad? Cheers!

It may have been a jewel beetle?

Ive only seen beetles when i tted to summer, but maybe its possible? id have to check the seasons

I noticed that several days ago.

It can't be a Jewel Beetle, because they are now Stump bugs. There are also no tree beetles right now.

After running around for hours, I finally caught one off of one of my Palms. It is an Atlas Moth, just like you find on normal trees.

Yep, it would be an Atlas Moth, assuming you're in northern hemisphere.

Jewel beetles can only be on stumps.

Depends what hemisphere you play in. Southern is done with summer, so no more chunky beetles but now we have walking sticks.

What's the other beetle that can be found on trees at this time then? Cause I swear there's another one.

None.

You can find Citrus Beetles and Jewel Beetles on stumps, but none on trees.

Huh, that's so weird. Guess I was seeing stuff lol
