What are they? Thousands emerged a few days ago and now they seem to be starting to die.

Perhaps the die-off is because they have laid their eggs and will soon be hatching larva.
I have been fighting the south American palm weevil [we would call it a beetle, locals use the word pecudo] i have lost a number of large palm. This
invasion has reached San Diego, and is killing some spectacular palms.Bajazly - 5-21-2020 at 10:31 AM
They are starting to fly now too, seems like they have done the deed and are off to lay eggs somewhere to start the whole cycle again.mtgoat666 - 5-21-2020 at 11:02 AM
there are a number of free or low-cost phone apps that ID insects. just point your phone camera at the bug, and bobs your uncle! mtgoat666 - 5-21-2020 at 11:09 AM
What a great resource - I tried the bot way with goog image search - nothing.
Of course, the bug has a wiki page, that is interesting yet again. This beetle is a power house of talent.
dig some more you find the blister properties link to the toxic secretions and then to the term Spanish Fly and the aphrodisiac potential. So the bug
has some Bill Cosby heritage also.
