Polyphylla barbata

(

)

... that the flightless female Mount Hermon June beetle spends most of her time burrowed underground and only comes out to mate, but returns underground immediately afterwards?

I generally give nominations of other people's articles a bit of leeway, but two weeks is way past the old "8-day" Swahili rule. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
