I saved a cockchafer today. I'd never seen or heard of a cockchafer until today lol. I was filling up a mop bucket at work when I saw something floating about in the water and I quickly tipped the water out and saw a strange-looking creature lying on its back trying to regain its balance, so I got a pen and it gripped on to it and I got it on to its feet.
I gently eased it on to a cloth and showed a coworker and she told me what it was. Then the cockchafer started flying around me, which I wasn't expecting. It landed back on the cloth and I was becoming rather attached to it. It seemed happy I had saved its life despite me not knowing what it even was at first. Then it spread its wings again, hit my arm like it was kissing me, and flew off to freedom.
I then asked Google if cockchafers were harmless and apparently they are. If I'd known that I would have picked it up by my hands.
Cockchafer sounds like another name for a jock/cup.
