Out in the backyard today I panicked for a split second when I thought Henry was heading towards a swarm of bees. It turned out to be a plague or invasion of these beetles! The kids at school call them banana bugs, but I don't know what they really are. There were hundreds of them all happily mating away. After taking a couple of pics though, I started feeling squeamish purely because of their sheer numbers. Anyone know what they are?
Looks like they are Plague Soldier Beetles aka Chauliognathus lugubris - okay I googled it :-)
