TOOT - check out the size of this Long Horned Lightening Bug

This morning my youngest son came to me very excited. He had found a beetle he'd never seen and it was HUGE.

Come quick, he said... I dragged myself out of bed and went to my back verandah expecting to find a common small beetle or bug.

To my surprise I found the biggest longhorned lightening bug I've ever seen.

A quick search of the Queendsland museum website found this.

Longicorn Beetle

It shows, sometimes you need to look through the world with the eyes of a child.

It is full of wonder.
