Jus-A-CMax Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 So we know the CMax has nice little crevices under the bonnet for the leaves and twigs to gatherm hide and hold a party....and I decided on Sunday to clean up those crevices - you know, carrying all that extra weight, its really effecting my MPG runs here :shift: So there I was using the pliers to pull out the twigs and leaves and low-and-behold, I pulled out this lil bugger... It was dead...or so it seemed to me. Was it beautiful though for a wee lil bug. Enjoy :) hybridbear and DR61 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slampro Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Maybe it's just me, but what the heck part of the car are you calling a "bonnet" . In my 42 years, I don't think I have ever heard that word used to describe a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adair Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Me too! But everyone else I know swears the smaller red beetles are the June Bugs, and that the giant green ones are Fruit Beetles. Around here the big ones are called Japanese Beetles. Infestations of them devour the leaves on our beans, grapes and kiwi!! Thankfully none seen this year.

fotomoto Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Looks like what we called a *June bug* when I was a kid. Google June bug beetle and see if that's it The Texas June bug I'm so familiar with is an ugly brown color: http://sixpacktech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/June-bug.jpg To help explain Jus to the newbies we can now say that he "Has a bug in in bonnet." :) Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
