Chaffer come a knocking!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I was sat at the desk and all I can hear is this high pitched clicking sound and then bang bang BANG on the window, so i decide to open the window to see whats afoot, as i love anything like that.

 

Well in flew this dirty great bug, which i thought might of been a stag, but then i saw it up close, and what a site, a flipping great chaffer, but does anyone know which one?

Have loads round here. We call them armour plated, flying armadillos.

They are quite remarkable, the grubs live in the ground for 3 years then only come out for a month or so before death, hence the other name May Bug.

 

By the way, your hands need washing.

I know them as may bugs, only seem to see them for a few days a year. Always fly into my room at night.

 

Killed 3 of the buggers last night, how dare they disrupt my sleep.

They do make a satisfying crunch when squashed. Bet Hama's book doesn't tell him about that.
