Foxhateram Posted 21 May 2008 Posted 21 May 2008 Indeed it is, although I didn't know their 'posh' name - always just been May Bugs to me.We seem to get loads round here. They're bastard big beetles that buzz (make a threatening 'drone' as they home in!) haphazardly around clattering into things, especially in the evenings. One ambushed me at a barbeque a couple of years back and promptly got tangled in my hair - the ensuing panic was rather entertaining apparently. On another evening I had to run all the way home from the pub as one kept buzzing around me. As soon as I stopped it'd reappear. Then, the other evening, one flew in through the window. I was just about to dive for cover behind the settee (hmm, I know... dunno why I thought it wouldn't be able to get behind there ) when it crashed into the TV, changed its mind and then flew out again. Starting to think I should wear a different perfume.
NorthernFox Posted 21 May 2008 Posted 21 May 2008 It looks like a CockChafer (no, that isn't a made up name), more commonly known as a May Bug or June Bug.http://www.bromley.gov.uk/environment/envh.../cockchafer.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockchafer Looks like Dame Edna Everage
