oooh err


We had an unwelcome visitor recently! I was talking on Skype, when Ed mentioned that a bug had arrived on the patio... "Shall I bring it in?" No way!! Half an hour later, when I was free, he mentioned that the bug was still there.

I went out to have a look, and encountered this little chappie! Yes, that is my finger next to him. No, there are no camera tricks. This was a Rhino Beetle, and he was very impressive. The dogs accidentally stood on him, but he still walked ok, if a little slowly.

Apparently, in Japan, children have them as pets. Guess they don’t take up too much space in an apartment!
