You want to see what the larvae of those bugs look like... They're well evil. I used to have one in a jar when I was a kid and it grew into one of those monsters

Arrgghhhnnnnghghghghh, I hate those things.

They're so big and heavy and clumsy, they're not averse to batting into you and fresking you out - it's not like a bug landing on you, like you can feel the 'thwack' - yeeerrgghhh. Harmless but horrible.

These Boy's make one hell of a mess on a car windscreen when there a*se comes through there face when you hit them

Harmless, nice to see them bugs and things all have a place in the ecocycle, just nice to think we are nearer the top of the food chain!

In Denmark (and in most of Europe IIRC) they call cockchafers "June Bugs"

Don't ride into one on a motorbike.
