We've had an abundance of them this year. Every color of the rainbow. I don't know one from the other for identification, but they are so pretty to look at.

Very cool! Love these guys. They are so menacing, makes me glad I'm bigger than they are.

LOL! Yes, the breed is notorious for stealing out of the trash! I had a lab mix who ate our whole couch one day while we were all at work. He also stole & ate underwear, knee high stockings (then pooped sausages) and anything in the trash was fair game for him. Oddly enough, he got hit by a Mr. Softee truck & it cured him of all his bad habits (did I mention he would tunnel out & chase the ice cream truck on a regular basis & they would stop & give him a cone?). But the worst part is, after he became a "good dog" (and incurred many, many vet bills from the accident) someone stole him from our yard! We never saw him again.
