Forget the fab four, think the fab 12. For the next 12 weeks, it’s quiz time again and this time, I will be testing your knowledge of British beetles. Many beetles have metallic or iridescent coloured elytra and thorax, making them - the real shining stars of the show. Beetles can live in a wide range of habitats. Some can fly and others cannot. Some have long antennae, and others long legs. Some have even mastered the art of disguise! Prepared to be be(et)dazzled and if you’re feeling lucky, perhaps you can even guess the bonus quiz question!Magical mystery beetle quiz #1Clue: Perhaps you haven’t herd the horns of Nimon.Bonus quiz: Kestrel let her.
Tis alright Wendy, I was looking for an anagram ;)

A clue will be forthcoming tomorrow...
I was thinking more of the behaviour of a group of whirligigs spiralling about on the water surface
whirligig is a name given to ornaments and art work that spirals

Clue: Ariadne might help if you get lost.
Minotaur beetle going by that clue
certainly looks like one of the Dr Who things
I have seen one once and honestly I thought it was deformed or damaged because I didn't know what I was looking at
you don't want to meet me on a dark night then lol
Oooooooh!! Scary E!
I'm confoosed now ... first clue suggests Stag & the second one Minotaur - they are not related, although look similar???
