Rose Chafer HMM (Cetonia aurata) (Please read my poetry)

"Chafer the Gaffer"

I'm the garden chafer,

the metallic green gaffer,

i'll buzz and spray,

so keep out my way,

i'll trample your pansies,

spoiling all your fancies,

i'm big, i'm green, seldom seen,

i'm chafer the gaffer know what I mean! 🐞

"Gaffer = Boss"

 

Metallic green rose chafer beetle, amid the blossoms, looking resplendent, they are considered a pest and can decimate flora, still they do look impressive like mini shining tanks.

They nibble pollen and sip nectar, but these little chaps

decimated my roses last year so they can definitely cause damage to the gardeners pride and joy!

A word of warning don't try grabbing them or you may get squirted, they have a nasty defence.

Of course they fly too buzzing about like small airborne tanks,

marvellous insects really, but the larvae are really ugly .... lets not go there! 😁

 

 

Metallic - Insect

This is going to be my choice for Macro Mondays this week I chose Metallic from the first five words and Insect from the second five words, hopefully concluding with ....

Metallic Insect

A green metallic beetle, a "Green Chafer Beetle."
