Well, here's a hotchpotch of photos:

No, not a family member! I fished him out of a bucket of water in the garden the other night. He's just so beautiful! He's over an inch long (>25cm) and I Googled him and it turns out he's one of our larger insects, a cockchafer beetle. I know that in other countries he would seem small fry, but he's almost in a class of his own here, and I'd never seen one before I fished this one out - thought he was dead. I know it was sad, but I texted Al to bring the camera down the garden to take this!!!

This was taken by my Aunt the other wekkend at my parents house.

Got to go, Sophie awake!

eww eww eww.. I hate bugs! Though with my son being ever so curious, I see a lot of bug surprises in my future.

Great family picture! Your hubby is very tall! or is he standing on something?

eww

fortunately I've always loved bugs! Em does too - example or nature...?

Hubby is pretty tall (6'2.5" or about 186cm I think) but looking at the pic either my dad has shrunk or Al might be on tiptoe! I'll have to ask him! I had to ask for my first kiss - I couldnt reach and he wasnt taking the lead! He's almost a foot taller than me, though that's mostly in the legs (sat down we're similar!).
