I was at my sister's house the other evening, having a fag on her patio, and saw this enormous beetle - literally the size of the palm of my hand - walking towards me. As it got closer the appendages on its back opened up like a transformer and fucking WINGS came out and it started flying right at me. Its wings made this terrible low hum like a V-1 rocket. I backed into the kitchen and shut the door but it didn't give up, it was thudding heavily into the little window on the door, trying to get in, and did that for about five minutes until it eventually gave up. It was fucking terrifying.
What was this thing?
