When I saw the size of it, I immediately thought chub lure!
(And guess what? There are actually quite a few 'may bug' models!).

Another name for them is a Doodlebug.
Flies like an unguided pebble noisy buzzing flight and always crashing into things.

Also known as the Cockchafer................standing by for incoming quips! Used to be great fun when we were kids thwacking then with a badminton racket as they blundered towards you.
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
