It's a Bug's Life

I took my guests from the US (John and Wyn) to Tihany, this really picturesque peninsula at Lake Balaton.

It was hot as hell. Uhm, 31 degrees IS hot as hell. Just sayin'.
Anyway, we're at the beach and this ENORMOUS BUG starts coming towards Wyn who starts freaking out.

'What the hell is THAT?'
'It's the largest insect in Europe. It's a stag beetle.'
'Holy shit!' (the thing has gigantic horns and it's over two inches long. It's moving forward with a lurching gait and it has this strange sense of purpose.) 'Oh good, it's moved past us.'


Thing comes to a screeching halt and begins to stalk Wyn.

'Oh shit.'

Somewhere in its brain (I know bugs have small ones) it came to a decision and started to lurch directly towards Wyn who began to consider flight.
Again, it changed its mind and turned away. It now moved DIRECTLY towards the bag of a sunbathing woman in her fifties. I WISH I had a camera.
It crawled up the bag and disappeared inside.

John: 'OH MY GOD. THERE WILL BE SCREAMING WHEN SHE GETS HOME.'
Wyn: 'You guys are so mean. We should tell her.'
Pig: 'You're right, we should.'
SILENCE.
John: God, it's gonna be funny.
