As I was Blogging...

This guy showed up. Nicole told us earlier about these beetles. She had met one on a previous trip to the Caribbean, and it bit her quite nastily on a, well, a girly part of the anatomy. So we decided to take a picture to show how big, but how not-scary he was since we were super brave, and he was just a beetle. One of the hotel workers brought us a broom to pick him up with:

While we were getting ready that photo, he flapped his wings, and Dee and I both screamed, and she took a picture of the floor instead:

 Then we got the first picture taken, and suddenly he leaped off the broom, buzzed threateningly, zoomed over and thumped a landing on my same girly part of anatomy. After a flailing beetle dance, during which I very nearly lost my shirt, and got hit in the chest a couple of times with a broom, he was finally gone, and I turned around in time to see a camera not-quite-flash:

Then the nice hotel worker brought me a glass of water, and she told me the beetle's name is Cucaron. Little bastard.
