TOOT - check out the size of this Long Horned Lightening Bug
This morning my youngest son came to me very excited. He had found a beetle he'd never seen and it was HUGE.
Come quick, he said... I dragged myself out of bed and went to my back verandah expecting to find a common small beetle or bug.
To my surprise I found the biggest longhorned lightening bug I've ever seen.

A quick search of the Queendsland museum website found this.

It shows, sometimes you need to look through the world with the eyes of a child.
It is full of wonder.

Lol. Never even thought of it that way. Lol. Whatever works to get attention.
That is one big ass lightening bug. I here they taste like almonds.
Crunchy I'm sure. Not quite that hungry yet.
Around here, they make little squeaking noises if you grab them and hold them by your ears.
Wanna give it a try and let me know?
Lol. Yep no probs. make a good post that one.
Cool, I like doing it myself!
I'll be looking forward to that post!
