Yeah, I was thrown off, too. I still have my "peoples' car" from my high school days. Maybe I'll fix it up for one of the kids.

What on earth is the point of saving an ugly parasite?
Let it die off, I'd say.

As it happens the cliff between Bolt Head and Bolt Tail is one of our favourite stretches of the South West Coast path, and we're frequently walking along it on a winter Sunday...incidentally the famouse specimen of magnolia Campbellii at Overbecks is very close by also. Now, should we happen across an oil beetle the next time we're there, you, and indeed the entire FR community,will naturally be the first to know.

Well, I for one, certainly miss him.

...which survive by hitching rides on miner bees as larvae and then eating the bees' eggs Sounds more like a Democrat/Welfare Beetle to me...

Thanks P.
The short-necked oil beetle was found by an amateur entomologist...
...who had to be hospitalized from the excitement he experienced.
