Bug help
-
This mean looking bugger flew in through my window and landed on my arm. Gave me one hell of a fright, followed by a fruitless search to find out just what it is. http://www.davidwulff.co.uk/bug.jpg[^] http://www.davidwulff.co.uk/bug_big.jpg[^] The first image is a collection of four, and the second one is a brighter closeup. Most of the shots are of it on its back because it would fly away otherwise. It was hard enough catching it the first time. - It is about 30mm long - It doesnt seem to be able to turn upright on its own - It has a furry underbody - It has fin-like feelers, textured like the tissue under a mushroom - It moves it fin/feeler things about like expanding and contracting a chinese fan - It has sticky feet - It flies, the wingspan is about 60mm across and it makes a very loudy clattering noise. - It has six legs - It has a hard pointed tail and wing case I tried asking Darth Vader, but he didn't know. :) I've seen them around before but never had the chance to look at one close up. What is this strange looking creature?

I sent the pictures to a friend and he identified it as a Maybug. Reading around it seems the technical name is Common Cockchafer and my little friend was a male, hence the weird 7x antennae. http://www.uksafari.com/cockchafer.htm[^] http://www.kendall-bioresearch.co.uk/chafer.htm[^] http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/May_bug[^] There's a good photo of one on the last link.

Well I'll be darned. I took a look at your links and followed to the Cockchafer Larva. My daughter and I dug one of those up when we were digging in the backyard last weekend. I had no idea what it was as I'd never seen anything like it before. Now I know - thanks for the info. Cheers, Drew.

Exactly what I was thinking! Interesting ep last week when his boss stated that Gil's "collection" is not paid for by the dept, but is paid for by Gil himself. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group

RoweDid you know that the last two episodes of this season was written and directed by Quentin Tarrantino? I noticed that the dialogs and the music were quite different from what I'm used to. Then I looked it up on tvtome.com, which listed him in the credits. Quentin's good. :) -- An eye for an eye will only make the world blind.

I didn't know that! But this one looked EXACTLY like the picture. As it turns out, all the pictures on the first page of the link you provided were, in fact, white grubs which is the common name for May beetle (June beetle) larvae[^] Well, I've certainly learned a lot about bugs today! Cheers, Drew.

Oops, actually, I take that back. I did another search and beetle larva come in a lot of different forms. I've seen some of them before but didn't know they were beetle larva; I thought they were some other type of bug. ( This is really gross, but when I was working on a farm during high school, someone paid a guy $10 to eat a grub that looked just like the ones shown in the pictures. X| ) ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]

Yep. They ran ads for about 2 weeks running up to the eps. I was disappointed by the finale though. It was very good up until the end, which was very quick and anti-climatic. The prison scene was good though as it lays the path for the girl coming back in future eps. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group
