Looks like a baby May Bug or cockchafer, also called may bug, billy witch, or spang beetle

Mum says can you get any doubles because she wants them too but they never make it this far north.:(

Am back from 20 week scan and I'm in shock. I literally can't believe it.

Somehow (and yes I do know the mechanics) it seems that I may be having a little boy. There's still a chance (20% according to the sonographer) that it may be a girl.

My partner has 3 living girls in total. In the past he has lost 2 boys....and we have lost 2 mystery babies. So put 2 and 2 together.....and seems likely that it would be a girl. But no. There was definately something between the legs.

Not looking forward to having a boy and a girl in the same bedroom with 6 years in age between them....but we'll have to manage somehow.

Right now this all feels like a dream and I'll wake up tomorrow.

OMG that photo is so fab - no wonder I missed it, it was the weekend before we went away so I've been playing catch up every since.

Eldest son doing Outdoor sports at uni so the walking socks always need replacing!

Think that one is a May bug, only tend to see them in May. They make a good squashy noise when you stamp on them..:rotfl::rotfl:

Edit...Snap ant beat me to it...:rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone
Thanks for the new thread FK.
Still trying to catch up on the old one. Must have missed loads.
Off to pick up DD for dancing and then I have a night hunting for yet another vole that the cats have brought in !!! Think I should lock the cat flap.
poor little thing looks scared out of its wits in the micro second that I saw it !
Hope everyone is okay.

I think I would prefer the vole to the dead rabbit brought home yesterday which one od ours tried to secrete under the car on the drive, managed to get the cat away from it and then fetched it out from under with the broom handle.

To find that one of them has eaten the head :eek:

And about a month to get the wheely bin emptied by which time it will be full of maggots :mad:
