Rumours have reached me that the annual fright of the black oil beetle is once again sweeping through the Czech internet. And it scares me just like every year. People, for God's sake! 😬
Yes, oil beetles are poisonous. Their hemolymph (body juice) contains toxic cantharidin, which is supposed to deter birds and other predators. But do you know what you have to do to be in any danger from the poison? You have to eat the oil beetle 🍴
Alarm is therefore spreading especially among moms whose young children could (supposedly) swallow the oil beetle. However, children could also swallow broken glass. Or a drawing pin. Or a yew berry. Do children swallow such things on a daily basis? No, because mothers watch out for it. In the same way, you just have to make sure the children don't eat bugs. You don't need a magnifying glass or extra vigilance - the oil beetles are big and hard to overlook on a walk. Not even our two-year-old Annie overlooked them. We just helped three different oil beetles safely cross the road this weekend 💙
Oil beetles have traditionally been threatened by agricultural intensification in our countryside, so as expected they are an endangered species. They are most commonly encountered in early spring, when egg-filled females search for a suitable place to lay their eggs. If you happen to see an oil beetle, don't touch it, rejoice in any way you like and move on in peace ✌️

Majku jsme potkali loni, a protože nejsme znalci, netušili jsme, co je to zač. Manžel ji bral do rukou, aby jí ukázal dceři (tou dobou též dvouletou), naštěstí jsme jí nenechali na ni sáhnout, přece jen jsme nevěděli co to je. A udělali jsme dobře - manžel měl pak na ruce nepříjemnou vyrážku 😄 Potkali jsme dokonce dvě, ta, na kterou jsme sahali, hbitě odcházela od druhé menší, která se jen trošku hýbala. Mysleli jsme, že se třeba navzájem napadli, a ta menší, že umírá. Zpětně nám bylo vysvětleno, že to pravděpodobně byl pár, přičemž menší sameček byl po výkonu vyčerpán 😁 Zda-li je to tak opravdu, netuším, nicméně to byl pro nás laiky zajímavý zážitek s bohužel bolestivým poučením - nesahat! 🙃

Přesně tak - nesahat a jen se pokochat 😉

Ahoj Lukáši 🍀Nádherný brouk a je to jak píšeš - opatrně se podívat, nechytat, dívat se kam šlapu a hlavně nejíst.... //... I když mě napadá hříšná myšlenka - ale zase těch broučků by bylo třeba hodně a hlavně by jich bylo škoda 🤭😬... // Srdečně zdravím a přeji hezký den 🍀Alena 🙋🏻‍♀️🌲☀️🌲👍

Včera jsem jí potkala na louce ve Ctětíně. Zaujalo mě, jaké má zvláštní tělíčko. Ale došlo mi, o koho se jedná, tak jsem ji nerušila a šla dál. Protože kdyby jí zmerčila naše ovčanda, asi by jí hned chtěla sežrat 😅, a to nevím, co by se pak dělo.
