      Beetle = beetle.

      budgie smuggler = tight underwear/speedo

      chop, chomp = bite


      Animals tend to seek high-ground during floods, to avoid drowning. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a tree, so beetles and spiders climb him and hide. Although he’s happy that it’s beetles and not snakes.

      It’s funny because any Aussie would read that and know exactly what he means.
