Yesterday I got an envelope postmarked "Goomalling".... never heard of it... had to google it...
I was very worried that someone was sending me dodgy stuff as it had been marked with Australian Border Security and wrapped in plastic...
I did a funny beetle typed dance when I saw what was in there.... just brilliant...
a few weeks ago I remarked about finding beetles amongst the rhododendrons and between Bev and I we had an email chat about these foreign import beetles that got through the border!
(Australia is extremely careful about what creatures and plants come through to avoid problems here - I was lucky to get passed!)
.. isn't this just so clever.....
this is a very beautiful beetle as you can see and if you give it a squeeze it smells of lavender!
Thank you so much Bev.. you made my day... and how nice to have a beetle named after me!
Righto, Gotto Go and make sure that beetle doesn't escape this house...
