I think he means either a cockchafer or a june bug

most likely a june bug, considering it is July

Maybe op is a complete retard and mistakes a Flower beetle for a cockchafer

Used to be afraid of june bugs

But then I looked closer

Their eyes! Their fluffy golden chest!
Their weird anlter antenna things!
Their infantile level of coordination!

Adorable buggers

>Can't be bothered taking 10 seconds to google and see cockchafer and May beetle are synonymous in the UK, Netherlands, Germany etc.

>"Other names include bracken clock, bummler, chovy, cob-worm, dorrs, dumbledarey, humbuz, June bug, kittywitch, billy witch, may-bittle, midsummer dor, mitchamador, oak-wib, rookworm, snartlegog, spang beetle, and tom beedel."

this is why latin binomial nomenclature

I know they're 'pests' but whether they're these medium size ones with the sawtooth spots on the sides, or the big metallic lamborghini green ones, they're pretty damn cute. I like holding insects that are physically strong.
