He was gorgeous once I got over my fear! I think I am gradually curing myself of my phobias with photography! haha I love the info, thank you so much for posting that! I especially love this part, it made me chuckle... "A less conventional approach was taken during 1320, when the cockchafers (as a species) were taken to court in Avignon where they were ordered to leave town and relocate to a specially designated area, or be outlawed." How funny is that! xD Not so funny that the poor things were exterminated though, but great to see they are making a comeback. I live in the woods and there are hundreds of these little fellas flying about, they regularly dive bomb me in the garden lol I am pleased to finally know what they are! :D xx
