I had the back door open while I was cleaning out my turtle tank today. I was cleaning at dusk, and while I left the florescent light on so I could see, I took the lid off so I could move the siphon around. A fair number of these beetles (I've always called em June bugs) got attracted to the light, fell into the water and got promptly munched by my RES and some of the feeder fish.

I don't know if I should be worried or not. I don't use pesticide, but these are flying bugs and may have been all over the place...and I'm not sure if they're good or not for them to eat? Should I be worried? I tried to shoo them away but he got maybe 10 or 12.
