I took it outside whereupon it clung to me for a few seconds before opening its wings and flying off. With the whole of the sky to aim for, it managed to collide with a telephone wire before shakily disappearing over some trees. A marvellous looking thing.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 10:21 AM     By:   CinemaScope   (Member) Is that the same thing as a May Bug (or June Bug), it's huge with big pinchers at the front? I was quite shocked when I first saw one, you just don't expect to see insects that big in the UK. Another big one is the Dragon Fly, they can be huge, but they are really quite beautiful.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 10:33 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) Tall Guy - you'd never have posted that if it were a "May bug", a June bug" or a "dragon fly." You just wanted to say cock chafer, didn't you? Didn't you?    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 10:46 AM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) I think the whole title of this thread is a thinly disguised warning. Keep clear of TG's back porch or you know what will happen.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 12:18 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Tall Guy - you'd never have posted that if it were a "May bug", a June bug" or a "dragon fly."

Keep clear of TG's back porch or you know what will happen. And strictly speaking it's at the side of the house, but as we refer to it as the back door, I reserve the right to call the bit it leads on to the back porch. It appeared to be trying to mount a carton of cranberry juice. At least it isn't one of D-in-B's thinly disguised May Bug threads.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 12:38 PM     By:   Montana Dave   (Member) I've known so many in my lifetime. Ah, the (bad) memories. Stay away from 'Big Teeth'.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 1:08 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Matron, i am not going anywhere near this thread heading. Guilty by association in this forum! Although iam quietly pleased to see the "thinly disguised" running gag being taken up by others.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 2:32 PM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) Ok, when I read the subject line, I thought "oh no, TG has really done it now. I had to read it a few times before I saw the real reason for the headline. Phew. I had to scroll down the thread of course. I was looking for our buddy Bill and highly anticipated HIS take on it - I think. Wow Bill, not too often that you are speechless. I am kind of bummed. However, I have a new way to ask hubby if he has a bug up his butt. Oh darling, do you have a Chafer in your back porch?    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 2:50 PM     By:   eriknelson   (Member) Do these bugs have any relation to the cicadas that we have here in the US? When they come out they're EVERYWHERE and make a deafening racket. My cat almost had a nervous breakdown last year! They were TEXAS size cicadas!    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 4:17 PM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) Do these bugs have any relation to the cicadas that we have here in the US? When they come out they're EVERYWHERE and make a deafening racket. My cat almost had a nervous breakdown last year! They were TEXAS size cicadas! It is so funny that mention cicadas. I was going to share a strange cicada story. When our house burned down, we had to do a lot of excavation to lay the new foundation. One day while I was outside, I saw a large insect sitting on the stair railing. It was about an inch and a half long with clear wings and a shiny bluish green colors. It had discernible eyes and antennae. Personally I was grossed out and afraid of it. I hate bugs. However, my kids and husband were fascinated and were feverishly trying to figure out what is was. It was very logy but was still alive and did not look hurt in any way. It made no attempt to fly away. We took a picture of it and ran it down to our local garden store. The owner can identify every single insect and pest that invades your yard. We were pretty shocked when he identified the insect as a cicada. My husband doubted it until the guy showed him a picture from a book he referenced. Sure enough it was a cicada. The guy explained that the extensive digging that was done had disturbed it and brought it out. The guy then asked us to bring it in if we could. He was really interested in seeing it. When we went to gently put it into a container, it flew off. We were really disappointed but it was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately we deleted the picture from the camera. It was quite a thing to see.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2015 - 4:55 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) Take it like a man, TG, or I'll send you some of our local gigantic Tallywacker Tsetse Flies.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2015 - 12:39 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Carry on rudery, Beetles, Bugs, topless flies, and eating off the floor of your car. It all happens over on nfsd.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2015 - 1:27 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Err no missus, Nay nay and thrice nay! And with that thread heading and the disgraceful euphemisms, edwzoomom posts  I am kind of bummed.. . This place just gets worse!!    Posted:   Jun 22, 2015 - 5:18 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) And then Joan suggests that I take it like a man... Honestly, they protest their innocence but I'm sure they do it on purpose.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2015 - 1:58 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Closeted Breakfasexuals, Tallywhacker Bringer-Uppers, Guys who Name Themselves After Gay Film Ratings. This thread is just a hotbed of perversion. My kinda place!    Posted:   Jun 24, 2015 - 1:59 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) This is now our official thread for anything bug, beetle, insect or creepy crawly related.    Posted:   Jun 24, 2015 - 2:04 PM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) This is now our official thread for anything bug, beetle, insect or creepy crawly related. Not to mention cock chafables. (And, of course, "in my Back Porch" might be a euphemism)    Posted:   Jun 24, 2015 - 3:38 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) (And, of course, "in my Back Porch" might be a euphemism) Well, to the pure, all things are pure.    Posted:   Jun 24, 2015 - 3:42 PM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) The only cockroaches I've ever come across were in Greece, and they were truly repulsive. There was one on the ceiling of a holiday apartment on Zakynthos (Zante) which headed right for me when I tried to brush it off towards the window. My gorge actually rose.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Cock Chafer in my Back Porch    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
