Something buzzing in my lawn!

[spangle82]

Was picking a few bits of twig out of the mower when I heard a faint buzzing sound. Traced it to an area of lawn about 3x3" - defo buzzing! Got a small trowel and started investigating, dug around to about 2" down but didnt want to be too rough in case I killed whatever it was. Kept poking around, still a definite buzzing but stopped before I damaged the lawn too much. It was a bit lower than mains hum so I'd say about 40Hz, and quite constant. Any ideas please?

I thought a bee too, but they are quite big so surprised I didnt see anything - and didnt want to cut it in half!

Well whatever it is/was, it has created a great deal of entertainment!

It's stopped now but it sounded like a bee. Just surprised I couldnt see it. We shall have to file it as 'Invisible bee'.

I,m sure someone once told me that frozen sausages in the lawn,make a buzzing noise as they thaw out. That's probably what's happened due to the present weather conditions.
