Another wtf is this? thread

dawballz

Just coming home last night I noticed this big insect on the back of a car.

Photo isn't great, but take a look.

He was moving his legs around, but I don't think he was in the best shape tbh.

It's hard enough to get an idea of scale here, but I can tell you, he is over an inch long.. maybe 1.5".

Looks like a cockroach.

Have more photos but they're crap too, and I'm on dial-up so I will post them later.







ok one of those has to work

Looks like a baby cockroach? Where do you live. Morocco cause then its not so weird. And I just solved the mystery of the Carkroach!

Rovi

Probably a Cockchafer or 'Maybug'.
Biggish beetle (by Irish standards), but harmless.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I prefer Grimes' Morocan Carkroach Theory

I'd bait it, and worry about what it is later.

Jeezuz man...

Set your camera to micro mode, usually the flower symbol on the mode selection wheel.

Designed for close-ups like the one you've shown

dawballz

Tis the GF's camera and I don't know much about it.. Must read the manual some time.

Looks like the CockChafer anyway. Never saw one of those before. Scary.

Mac daddy

Fraid not cathy if you check your manual i think you'll find the desired mode is referred to as mucro-mode.
Don't worry bout it tho,simple mistake to make

Cathy

Are you sure it's not mocro?

Pighead

Nah the mocro is only used if the fibulator of the main chassis has burnt out due to over exposure
But once again Cathy don't beat yourself up over it as it really is an easy mistake to make.

Cathy

Right, well thanks a million for correcting me there, I looked up my manuals and they've spelt it wrong too, and also on my cameras, so I'll be writing some strongly-worded letters of complaint!

Pighead

Bloody manuals,not worth the paper they're printed on
Good news is i'm about to launch an imformative and sexy website called ASK PIGHEAD so in future if you have any querys regarding anything at all don't be afraid to ASK PIGHEAD
eh just to save me getting banned for off-topicness may i say isn't that bug thingy very un-sexy

vibe666

you have yourself a cockchafer there m'boy.

here's some cream, now rub that on twice a day and don't use it till the swelling goes down.
