I’m fascinated by insects.
My father used to swear he found a new one in the garden every year and I wouldn’t be surprised if that were true. They’re prolific little beasts.
Or in this case, not so little.

I have yet to see one of these jewels, but rest assured I’ll be looking.

This is one seriously impressive bug.

What’s not to love?

Okay, so I may have to hold my nose. It’s a small price to pay…

I knew Hawaii had massive bugs. Didn’t know about Maine, though. Wow.

I love how you refer to it as a “treasure.” As if stumbling across that nightmare creature would ever be considered fortunate!

They are pretty cool to look at, but I don’t think I want to get up close and personal with one. 😳
