The May Bug - Britain’s Locust

The #Maybug was an agricultural pest, so numerous they were like #locusts Our ancestors got their revenge by eating them and using them as #toys #Cockchafersoup anyone?

Once so common and deemed a major agricultural pest, cockchafer numbers sometimes reached biblical proportions, as in Ireland in 1688. “When towards evening or sunset, they would arise, disperse and fly about, with a strange humming noise, much like the beating of drums at some distance; and in such vast incredible numbers, that they darkened the air for the space of two or three miles square”,…

normally im not a bug poster but i wanna show the guy i met today

also noticed that he couldnt walk very well on our dining table because it was too smooth and slippery. so i put the towel under him but then he seemed to be getting stuck? anyway that meant that he was super chill with being handled because apparently human skin is a great texture to walk on lol.

in dutch they're called meikever, or may beetle. because they're seasonal, so that makes seeing him even more special. hes limited edition only

and theres a little song about him too

Вчера я спасла жука. Он полз по тротуару по направлению ко мне. Именно не переходил дорогу, т.к. стоило его обойти, как он менял направление и снова полз ко мне. Сначала я решила, что он ищет тень. А он, добравшись до моих ног, стал тыкаться под подошву, словно пытался закопаться глубже. Отнесла его в траву. В последние дни я чувствую себя жуком.

Common Cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha)

Distribution: Found throughout temperate Europe, as far east as Ukraine and Turkey, and the continental United States.

Habitat: Often found in areas with soft, shaded soil; savannah, grasslands, forests and agricultural land.

Diet: Herbivorous generalists; adults feed on the leaves of deciduous trees such as oak, maple, chestnut, beech, plum and walnut; they will also occasionally feed on conifer needles. Larvae feed on new plant rootlets of any type.

Description: The cockchafer has a lengthy life cycle, with larvae maturing only after three years of growth, and occasionally emerging as adults only on a fourth year. They're considered garden and agricultural pests due to the larvae's tendency to gnaw on any small roots they can get their mouthparts on—this can weaken plants significantly, making them weak to disease. Interestingly, there seems to be a larger cycle at play as well, as cockchafers tend to emerge in massive quantities in the tens of thousands every thirty years or so.

Due to their destructive habits, a collection of cockchafers were put on trial in 1320 in Avignon, France, in hopes that they would atone for their crimes. They were sentenced to remain in a specially-designated area for three days (cockchafer jail!) and, when they failed to comply (because they're bugs.) were outlawed. Considering they're still found in France today, their cockchafer ban was likely unsuccessful.

The Cockchafer Beetle

Have you seen a #Maybug yet? These ponderous, noisy beetles are not as scary as they look. #insects

Melolontha melolontha; also known as: May bug, Mitchamador, Billy witch and Spang beetle. A large, powerful winged object, about two to three inches long and half an inch wide, emerges out of the evening gloom, its progress heralded by a loud drone as it rapidly beats its wings. On a mission to feed and mate, it makes a bee line for a source of light, open windows or doors often proving…
