Your Field Guide to Spotting Khepera (Khepri)

Chances are you aren't going to see another insect-headed god today. But in case you do, remember that Khepera is a scarab beetle, or a man with the head of a scarab. If you don't just run off screaming—or looking for the bug spray—maybe you can get a closer look.
