Interesting Insect Name

[collindow]

There is a European/British bug. When I first saw the name, I laughed out loud. It is an immensely ridiculous name, though it must not have been when the bug was named. Now, of course, you want to know the name...Cockchafer. Yes, friends, there is an insect living amongst those of us across the pond called the Cockchafer. Those same folk across the pond have also named five naval vessels after the bug. FIVE.

I had a girlfriend in college that I could have nicknamed that… too much friction isn’t a good thing, but oh the memories! :worship:
BTW… I use to call her KY and no she wasn’t from Kentucky… :D

Hey Lawrence....I don't think that bugger is "cute" at all.... :laughat:

 

[lonestar]

Makes me want to become an entomoligist, discover some new bug, and pick what to name it........ I think I could do better than cockchafer... Let me think about it a minute....
