A beetle. Ένα σκαθάρι.

This little fellow fell on my balcony a couple of days ago. He was upside down and seemed helpless as he could not turn over. I tried to help him but gain he always was ending up on his back. Finally, I put him on the balcony railing from where he slipped off to safety.
Αυτός ο μικρός τύπος έπεσε με την πλάτη στο πάτωμα της βεράντας. Προσπαθούσε να γυρίσει να σταθεί στα πόδια του αλλά πάλι γλίστραγε, όσο κι αν τον βοηθούσα. Στο τέλος τον έβαλα πάνω στα κάγγελα, απ' όπου γλίστρησε μια καί καλή και πέταξε μακρυά.

  1. Costas, you are such a kind heart, so sincere. This looks like our June Bugs and while they are not so kind to plants, they are the most beautiful colourations~

  5. Althought I don't really love bugs, I would do the same thing and try to help it. After all, he has a beautiful colour. :)

    Αλλά οι Αρχαίοι τον ονομάζανε "μηλολόνθη"...Δεν είναι υπέροχο όνομα;;;
    Καλά έκανες και τον βοήθησες :)

  8. So kind to help him! We call him "Rosenkäfer" and he is a really gourmet, eating the heart of roses and other flowers the whole day. He ist a little jewel on air. Hugs from Luzia.
