What's with all these bettles??
Hi,
Was getting the kids ready for bed and heard this strange noise. Looked out onto the deck and saw all these beetles flying about. Looked a bit like a cockroach. There are loads of them lying around.
Any idea what they are??
Cheers

By all accounts they don't last for too long. Unless <scary music, 40-a-day movie trailer voice> ... they've evolved ...
