    Just thought I'd pass on a photo from my meeting with a Cockchafer at a picnic the other day. While he made the ladies run in the opposite direction, he stayed around for some photos :D

    A friend took the photo using a Fuji digital camera, not sure of the exact details. I just worked on keeping the megabug moving.. showing his good side to the camera etc :D

    Also called a May Bug, kind of a pretty name for an ugly looking thing.

    Does he fly? Is he like a cockroach? Does he sting? So many questions!! I just want to avoid this thing, I won't sleep after seeing him.
