I haven't seen any cockchafers - or May beetles - in our region in years. Apparently they have simply become Dutch and now thrive in the Netherlands. :D

Close-up macro photograph of a May beetle (Melolontha melolontha) clinging to a pine needle. The image shows detailed features including the beetle's fuzzy thorax, dark compound eyes, and distinctive orange, fan-like antennae. The background is blurred green foliage, highlighting the beetle as the focal point.

Unexpected visitor last night—a May beetle crash-landed right on my desk!
Buzzing like a tiny helicopter and just as clumsy.
Spring is officially here!

Gisteravond onverwacht bezoek—een meikever vloog pardoes mijn bureau op!
Bromde als een minihelikopter en minstens zo onhandig.
De lente is nu echt begonnen!

Gerade per Post nen Belegexemplar für das Buchprojekt @friedenstier »Mit Stift und Flügeln für den Frieden« von @merlegoll_illustration, @friederikeablang und @sasaillu bekommen und bin happy hier mit ner kleinen Maikäfer-Illu mitgemacht zu haben. Mit den Einnahmen des Buches werden @aerzteohnegrenzen unterstützt. Denn Frieden ist nicht selbstverständlich ✌️🌿
