I know that lots of Hooting Yard readers are keen entomologists, and I do not want to find my postbox clogged with letters asking me about the venomous beetles mentioned in the item below entitled One In A Series Of Hiking Pickles. Let me make it crystal clear, then, that I was referring to blister beetles. If you are not one of the merry band of entomologically-inclined readers, and have no idea what a blister beetle is, here is a picture of one:
What about the Bombardier Beetle? They are not so much venomous, more noxious.
I have no fear of the Typical blister beetle..
But the Atypical blister beetle ?
Now that’s a completely different kettle of Poissons…
If you think about it, which type of beetle, blister or bombardier, is more likely to be found near the Blister Lane Bypass?
