Up close with a Stag Beetle…

Last night hubby texts me, from the garage.
‘Come quick’
‘Hurry with camera’
‘Now’

So curiosity gets the better of me.

And does that guy know me well or what!!

On the hood of his beloved Mustang was a huge Stag beetle.

My fear of all bugs over a certain length..ie; 0.0001mm,
suddenly went out the window at the sight of this guy, all raised up and fierce looking.
It’s amazing how brave a person can be, behind the viewfinder.
That’s not to say, should the beetle have decided to make a move towards me, I wouldn’t have screamed like a little girl and ran for the door.
But he didn’t. Thankfully!!
And thankfully hubby didn’t make too much of a fuss about me leaning and sprawling all over his car in an attempt to get a shot of him.

I have to admit, seeing this guy close up and large on the computer screen made me shudder a little.
