Yup. Probably comes from the German 'Käfer' (beetle) They're also called Maybugs, but cockchafer sounds funnier.

"Sclerophrys channingi" - also known by their stage name, Channing Toadam. Found within the Democratic Republic of Congo, they employ a very unique form of Batesian mimicry. When threaten, they will curl up so that their body resembles the head of the deadly Gaboon viper. Not only that, but they can also mimic the viper's hiss to complete the bamboozle. (One of the few instances where throwing a hissy fit can save your life)

It's okay. I love them too. I used to see them all time (well, once every 4 years) growing up.

I haven't thought about cockchafers in a long time. This isn't how I expected to be reminded of them.

You know I couldn't just pass over this one. The second of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, it's described in Exodus 7:25-8:15, and follows the Plague of Water to Blood, and precedes the Plague of Lice. (The irony is ancient Egyptians considered frogs to be a symbol of fertility, and frogs in general aren't all that dangerous. So, maybe it was like a warning shot from Yahweh or something)

Conspiracy theory: It's all a miniature, and that's actually a cocktail flag.

Well, if I understand correctly, the human brain matures at around 26. Basically, that's when the hopeful child brain fully turns into the cynical adult brain. This guy just developed a bit quicker.

The potential result of a misfired Conjuring Spell (i.e. a materialization spell) Somehow, not an ideal sight to see hoping towards you on an Easter morning.

Like the title says, it's just an expression, so don't actually do it. It refers to avoiding procrastination, and its origin is attributed to the following Mark Twain quote:
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”
It's also a book on the same subject by Brian Tracy. (Though the metaphor might not work as well for all people groups)
