Buddha-Faced Beetle



I wished that I had had a decent camera with a powerful macro lens, from my arsenal, at hand that time

It reminds me of a set of pictures attached in an email subjected as "Buddha-Faced Bug" I had received in January, 2007 all the way from Malaysia


Earlier this year on June 5, 2012 I had found a bug stopped on my left shoulder for a long period of time, almost all morning. When I tried to brush it off using my hand and it turned out to stick on my finger instead, again, for a long time.

In fact, it is "Catacanthus nigripens". People call it "Man-Faced Bug/African Painted Bug" in English, "人面椿象" in Chinese, "臭腥龜仔" in Taiwanese, or "ジンメンカメムシ (人面カメムシ)" in Japanese.

Nothing Ageless

Image
  What was routine is now sacred            However, even the most precious parts of your life must adapt to the changing circumstances, requiring you to leave behind what was once immutable and vital. Your lack of attachment to those things you cherish stands as a shining example for your peers. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to be casual about whatever is fading into the past. Carefully consider each decision. Responsible authority is your middle name. You are the clock that others set their watches to when they want to be right.    #MonringWalk #MorningMusings #DailyRitual #GreenThumb #Gardening  #DailyMuse #LightsAndShadows #Greens #Floral #Scenery #Garden #Palette #Woods #Serenity #MeTime #Gardener #allkindsofnature #ColorScheme #Serendipity #GreenFingers #EmotionalUniverse #AloneTime #Nature #Motivational #Uplifting #Topherculitis #LiveSpherically
