Wearing the chastity cage, let your desires find no escape in the tight restraint, feeling that forbidden pleasure only experienced in captivity.

Day 35 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:

Common cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) is a type of rather large flying insect. During May, they come out in huge numbers to mate. They are very fluffy, completely harmless and very slow, so it’s easy to catch a whole bunch of them at once.

Male cockchafers have comb-shaped antennae, while females have just normal stick-like antennae. Some people consider them a pest species, but they live for only a couple of weeks, so the damage they can cause is minimal.

Eph, short for Ephemeral, library reconnaissance beetle at your service!

@akhuna01 submitted: I met this sweet guy today! We call them Maikäfer in German, which means May Beetle.

Found in the bavarian alps in germany 😁✌

A beautiful and fuzzy little pal! Maikäfer is definitely a better name than what we call them in English, which is cockchafer :\ But I see that you knew that since you tagged it cockchafer! Anyway I love this friend and I see you tagged me in a post with more photos of them so I'll reblog that next :)
