May bug in July

[nanila]

We were very surprised to find this May bug (otherwise known as a “cockchafer” although not without a lot of sniggering) on a walk through a field in Norfolk. Not just because it’s quite a big beetle, but because it’s mid-July!

You can see why they like to blend into brown backgrounds!

Ha, yes, it's quite difficult for them to hide otherwise!
