DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEETLES

Eek!!!
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 .
