I love the way big beetles look when they fly away, like they're headed straight to God to tattle on you.

Back in the 60s, we used to tie a string onto the leg of a junebug and let it fly arond like some bizarre kite.

That's actually not too far from a superstition/cultural tradition in Denmark where if you catch a lady bug you can ask it to fly to God and ask for nice weather. This is probably partially due to the fact that a lady bug is called mariehøne in Danish, meaning "Hen of Marie/Maria/Mary".
