Hogweed Bonking Beetle

Most unfortunate name but it's the name they're most commonly known as.

Just because they can tend to be somewhat Amorous :-D

I've loads on the Sweetcorn this morning. I think they're after the Sunflowers I have growing amongst them, plus we've loads of Hogweed about as well!

Perfectly harmless apparently. They're too busy doing other things to worry about the vegetables !!

lol - I've never heard them called that before but get where it comes from. I have always called them soldier beetles, presumably their other common name.

Yes, they're also called Soldier !!

If you see a few of them together, they're usually..............'communicating'.

Richard :-D
