Re: Name that "Bug"


Good pictures of the Cockchafer or May Bug, Mags. So glad Cassie didn't eat it! Strangely handsome beastie IMO - not that I'd want to cuddle it though!

Re: Name that "Bug"


It looks very hairy under those wings and looking at its hairy legs is enough to put me off!

Re: Name that "Bug"


Yep that's definitely a maybug, just like the one Jason brought in a few days ago and which we had flying around the living-room light. Nasty, ugly things!

We get them a lot round here and in early Summer evenings we potter around the kitchen without putting the lights on as they crash into the window and the glazed panel in the back-door. One af our neighbours called pest control out one year because she thought they were cockroaches.
