Hi Lyn,

it looks like a European Chafer Beetle. Not very good for your lawns...

:eek:

O my goodness.
The lawns O.K at the moment.

I just looked the chafer up , it is one of those.

Thanks :thumb:

 

Wow, that was a huge photo, gave me a bit of a shock!

 

I removed the first one as it had activated the bottom scroll bar.

New rule folks - DO NOT post images that activate the bottom scroll bar!

 

I found a cockchafer beetle last night when I opened the back door to go out. Fascinating but very creepy. It was buzzing like mad and trying to fly inside. I didn't know we got bettles that big!

 

Whoops, but sorry I have no idea what that means.:o

 

The Boss Woman and I found one last night, looked like a cockroach it was huge sent it to the happy hunting ground via the wellie boot.

 

O yuk.
It's got grabby things on it.

I have never seen one before now they seem to be everywhere.:eek:

Do they bite ?

 

Please tell me that is not a lifesize picture?

 

thats one big bug lol...

 

Well mates i wouldn't have known what type it is all i can say is it sure was ugly :D

 

Excellent photo Bob!

I call these by the lay name - June Bugs - Although I guess this one is premature by a month!

 

My cat brings them in regularly at the moment. They seem to facinate him.
