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.

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
