MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel

Just emerged today, ready for some nocturnal acrobatics 😀
One of them flew into a room I was working in and hit the wall near me.
Thought it was a frikkin eagle!
Some places known as “Doodlebugs” for their random flying activities!
I have no idea what kind of bug that is, but there is no way in hell i am doing a google image search on 'Cock Chafing' 😯
t'is a mayfly... or cockcafer as this thread has taught me.
Fricken stupid bugs, usually loads about, but I didn't see many last year (IIRC it wasn't even May when I did see them), not seen any so far any this year

A Mayfly is a different beastie. It an aquatic insect wot fly fishy folk copy to catch fishies.
Cockchafers are cool. As long as they don’t get down ya pants.
We used to call them May bugs when I was at school.

I will never forget my mate at school who was a 16 stone prop forward running round the classroom absolutely terrified of one of those beasties!
Thanks to Wikipedia I have learnt that there is a Large Cockchafer
Yes, I'm childish.
I thought chamois cream or a big dose of Bum Butter was the answer 😜
I thought they gobble up old wood but a quick google suggests that's something else

They have a 5 year life cycle, as flying bugs they only live a few days. So, you won’t see them every year.
