| | | | When i was in bouganville there were beetles the same size if not bigger. And when you got close to them they hissed by taking in air under the wings and pushing it out again. First time i went to pick one up i didnt know about the hissing and it did just as i grabbed it, and yes, to see a army dude on operations nearly crap himself was very funny for others. Crazy beetles they were, some of them had a huge set of pincers on the front. Very interesting beetles for sure. |
