    Ugh, those beetles! Pretty carapaces, but what a scourge!

    Sounds like a short story or fairy tale there, Belinda.

    There was an Old Man of Quebec,
    A beetle ran over his neck;
    But he cried, ‘With a needle,
    I’ll slay you, O beadle!’
    That angry Old Man of Quebec.
    Edward Lear

    This came to mind when I saw your comment on the photo. I see that Lear used the word “beadle” for some reason. I don’t know what the significance is of using it (a parish officer).

    Anyway, great photo, and interesting showdown.
