A memory of Warmer nights

The colder nights  put me in mind of the things I saw last Summer in particular the cockchaffer beetles also called "Maybugs".The first night I put out my moth trap they came in like bullets clattering into doors,the yard and me.The ones I felt weren"t bad it was the ones that attached themselves to my clothes and were found on the bedroom floor the following morning by my wife that caused problems :)

Cockchaffer Beetle (Melanthona melanthona)


As the photos show they are really beautiful if time is taken to examine them up close,(my wife and I disagree on this point)
Just look at those antennae !
