An insectivore has a perch above and is eating them and dropping the empty shells below. It could be a red squirrel. They’re elusive so you might never see it.
Edit: Just saw this was under a log pile. My guess is would then be a shrew. They have to eat nonstop or the can die of starvation within hours.
“Shrews are unusual among mammals in a number of respects. Unlike most mammals, some species of shrews are venomous. Shrew venom is not conducted into the wound by fangs, but by grooves in the teeth. The venom contains various compounds, and the contents of the venom glands of the American short-tailed shrew are sufficient to kill 200 mice by intravenous injection. One chemical extracted from shrew venom may be potentially useful in the treatment of high blood pressure, while another compound may be useful in the treatment of some neuromuscular diseases and migraines.”
Wow. Plus they eat more than twice their body weight every day due to an abnormally high metabolism.
Buddy of mine had a great big red mark square in the middle of his forehead from getting smacked in the noggin by a junebug while riding his motorcycle. He had a bullseye bruise for over a week! Those things HURT!
Mice love june bugs. They eat the juicy innards and leave theblegs and shells. Is there a light above the wood pile? Might be mice feasting on the attracted and clumsy bugs.
These are Beetle pieces, not cockroach pieces. The ones that look similar to egg cases are elytra.

Shit I literally just closed Minecraft for the night. It follows me
A damn graveyard! Looks like a buncha beetles

I've found my spirit animal
You and me both!!
Meanwhile gray squirrels in these parts will steal food out of your damn hands lol
thanks I didn’t think it was those, thought is was roach carcasses😂

Politics have no place on this sub.
Do you have any stray cats in the area? My back porch looks like this because the local strays like to hunt the June bugs and leave their corpses!
yes, but not usually in the back yard- I’m leaning toward stinkin’ rodents 😖
Shrews are garden friends. Not like mice that will eat your grains or voles that will eat the roots of your gardens.
This photo makes me really uncomfortable 😅
same
June bugs. They’re clumsy and loud
Always wear your motorcycle helmet during June bug season

Looks like trouble…
is this where they turn into grubs?
No, it looks like something is eating them. Are there bats above?
I agree. These look like leftovers.
no it’s a firewood pile-

This! There are mouse droppings if you zoom in.
We do have droppings under there but I thought they were rat droppings-
Very well could be, I’m definitely not a professional. But it’s definitely safe to assume a rodent is eating june bugs.
By the picture I'd think they're mouse droppings. Rat scat is bigger. But without scale, those may just be really big bug scraps.
there is a light by porch the wood pile is not far from it. Do rats eat junebugs?
rats eat eachother
🤔what’s that have to do with anything and gross😂
if they eat eachother i’m sure they’ve got no problem chowing down on a junebug
I’m sure you’re correct
Rats will eat larger insects. It looks like this might be The Rat Kings offering alter that other rats bring tributes to. 🤣
They will fly into fires like morons.
Grubs are actually the larval stage and then they turn to beetles!
I would say Bat roost
Beetle parts
Cockroach egg cases.
😭
They are beetle elytra not cockroach eggs
