Even if you believe the planet is being taken over by creepy crawlies, put on a stunt like the PM , ole Scott from Advertising, grab a black one , flash it about for one and all to see and appreciate. Tell the bemused and captured audience, including the ALP , that they should not be afraid of such a blessed lump.
The beetle shown here was found dead by our Shipping Reporter on a North Queensland beach he was searching for gold quartz, intent on salting a mine so that he can buy a luxury cruiser bigger than Packer's .
Beetles are interesting critters, come in a variety of colours. One of our roaming correspondents, Abra, recently rescued this dazzling beetle from a driveway near Sydney's trendy Newtown . It had probably escaped from the menagerie of a Generation X glutton who was eating not one, but two, smashed avocados at the same time, while gulping down soy milk latte , a concoction to which Newscorp has had a macho aversion for decades.
From time to time , the Little Darwin cluttered den is invaded by beetles , a nice green one captured on camera. Lizards also pop in .
