good beetle or bad beetle? Do I rescue it or let it drown or is it quite happy doing numerous lengths of the pool?
???
Since it's that size, I think friend - unless you have a precious collection of rotten wood ;)
Where are the entomologists when you need one ;D
i wasn't sure if he was going to suck the life out of my lilies but he seems quite happy just splashing about. i'm also waiting for one of the pigeons to have him for breakfast !
;D
Oh, I see where you are coming from. No, the Lily Beast is red and much smaller and they will be far too busy munching the lillies to do a couple of lengths ;D
click beetle ,soldier beetle, or anthocomus rufus,whatever i would have saved it : :) /shades x
he's still swimming, he must be crossing the channel ;D
There's not enough visible to say what sort it is.
he didn't hang around for pics after i gave him a towel to dry off and let him loose.
i'm assuming he'll be grateful to me for liberating him and will leave all the plants alone.
;D
thank you ;D ;D ;D I love insects , hence my name :-*/angle shades
??? explain ?
i'm an old softy at heart ........ although i wasn't chuffed to find a slug trail on the patio tonight :'(
:) google angle shades ;)
