      In UK, we call those beetles May Bugs.

      I love how they come in like a cumbersome helicopter…..

        "Maikäfer" in german which is exactly the same as May Bug… they are quite seldom now and seeing one reminds me always of my childhood when we usally saw a lot of them... forest owner are a bit afraid if they come in huge swarms as they can be pretty voracious

          At our last house we lived downhill from a large forest, these things would come into our garden on an early summers evening like this:

                  I was mostly thinking of the UK to be fair. But hey, if the cap fits…

                      This orchid is one of the early winter bloomers around here, Schomburgkia sp. Some flower pink/burgundy, some orange/brown and some yellow/orange. Very hardy plant.

                      The journey is the objective.
