I like big bugs and I cannot lie...
Aug. 19th, 2003 08:00 pmI've always liked insects, I must confess. My love for them has expanded far beyond the point of rescuing them out of the water (which I still do of course). I find them pretty and fascinating. I love watching them. The only species excluded are spiders. They scare the shit out of me >_<. I wish I didn't have this phobia, but I can't get rid of it.
Anyway, for a while now I've been visited by a strange fellow whom I found very fascinating. He (I'm simply assuming it's a he) moves strangely, almost like a hummingbird and he has a long snorkle like nose. Today I managed to find out his name.
So now, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you...
Mr.Humming-bird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum)!


Isn't he cuuuuuuuute? *_*
Not to be confused with the Bee Fly (Bombyliidae), of course, who is equally as cute.


And for finishing, to delight the masses a picture of...

Phanaeus vindex Floridanus... also commonly known as... Dung Beetle! XD
