Spent most of the day in the garden yesterday. I decided to split up
some small but congested crowns of Primula bulleyana. Just as well I
did, as I discovered lots of VW larvae, some of them quite chubby.

The classic rear engined VW beetles? :-)



LOL! I thought that as I typed it! :~)

I knew exactly what you meant, but in my mind I saw Herbie, The Love
Bug.


Can't say that I spare much love for this particular bug :~(.


Our kids liked it when they were small.




I never saw it (seen images, tho'). My father used to introduce me to
creepy crawly bugs, but VW wasn't around then. I suppose I could still
watch Love Bug ... I've always made a point of not acting my age :~).
