    A pair of gloved hands wearing purple/blue nitrile gloves are holding a large collection of dead beetles. The beetles appear to have iridescent dark green, black, and copper-toned exoskeletons, consistent with Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica). This appears to be a pest management or research context given the use of protective gloves and the quantity of collected specimens.

    Two men wearing purple nitrile gloves are handling a black plastic bag over what appears to be a white container or cooler near a piece of red equipment. The man on the left is wearing a USDA-branded black shirt and sunglasses, suggesting an official government agricultural or inspection role. The setting appears to be an outdoor work area with a chain-link fence and trees in the background.

    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are performing grounds maintenance work in an open grassy field, likely on or near an airfield. They are using hand tools such as shovels to remove or plant small trees/shrubs. Two orange utility vehicles (appearing to be Kubota RTVs) are parked nearby to support the work.
    Three individuals, including two U.S. Air Force personnel in ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) camouflage and one civilian, are working outdoors in a grassy field near a small pine tree.
