Creatures Caves

I think we need to make one!
Anywas, I recently found a strange green bug, it looks beetle like, 1 cm long, I bet less than half 1 cm wide.
It has wings, can fly, and when it flies, it's wings lift it up, hunching it while it flies, and it flies pretty fast!

I've never seen one like it, I found it on my TV screen, just sitting there, and when I put it on a cloth, it kind of tried to eat the cloth.....

My second question!
I am a gardener/botanist, well, it's a hobby.
Well, I recently went around the neighborhood, and I found some plants, with seeds, I found some pine cones, seed cluster thingies (pods), and I need some tips on growing them!
First, the first pod, it was red, a rose red, and I live in Arizona, what species is it, and what instructions for it's care do you recommend? (Is it poisonous too?)
I also picked up pine cones, and began harvesting for seeds, how should I care for the seeds?
