The cockchafer are back
In my childhood I have seen the cockchafer every spring, but in the last 20 years I have not seen a single one.
A few days ago I cleaned my bus with the high-pressure cleaner at a gas station, when I saw a large, lifeless beetle lying on its back in a pool of water. I took him directly in hand and looked after him, he lived and when I turned him, I realized to my joy what it is. I looked around to find a nice place for the Maybug to have his peace, but unfortunately there was not a nice place there. So I took him home quickly, because I live just around the corner.
Of course I had to use the opportunity to free my favorite lens from hibernation..
I put him in our cherry tree and watched as he pumped with his abdomen and just a few moments later he flew away towards the sun.
A great experience for me and a wonderful start to the macro year 2018.
