Found roaming around in the Manager Air Traffic Office @ Scatsta Airport....looks similar to one found last year which was ID'd as Pterostichus niger..is this the same Frown, or something else Smile.

Looks pretty right, another possibility is Pterostichus melanarius but I don't know if they occur where you are or not

Thanks Trev & Philippe for confirming it as P.niger.
Hoped it might be something else, but......Frown.

Philippe does the lyric from B.Dylan Frown mean something?
Tried delving into any Frank Zappa or Tom Waits? Smile.

Or should you wish to rattle the old Grey Matter then Joe Bonamassa is the guy to do that Cool.

You bet it does... like any poetry that's any good, it means just what you mean it to meanWink

But since you ask, to me, it is an occult way of saying
"Well, I try my best to me just like I am,
but everybody want you to be just like'em"

Cheers

OK, OK I should have written cryptic, I guess. Note, however, that I did NOT spell it with a capital O, like you did
Pfft
Philippe

PS it's "to be just like..." of course, not "to me" ... Silly me!
