bug butt, bud.
our ignorant, bigoted mayor has once again shown that he has nothing but contempt for diversity and yet is too much of a chickenshit coward to just come out and say so. fuck him and everyone who voted for him. conservatives are all filth.
maybe he's still bitter and pouting because he isn't getting his way, yet again.

This is a Giant Water Bug. Unremarkable, except for one thing -- I found him crawling along the road in upper Cotes-des-Neiges, many kilometers from any water. In fact, I think the nearest significant body of water is Beaver Lake, the artificial lake on top of Mount-Royal, a good four km away.
BTW, he's just a bit smaller than the cockroaches I put up with for five days during my jungle trek in the Amazon a few years ago.
Here you can see the eggs & babies that have just hatched. These things multiple like you wouldn't believe. The only way to really get rid of them is to take them off by hand and kill them. What a pain!
Damsel bugs, also known as “nabids”, eat small insect eggs as well as aphids and mites. This insect uses a needle like mouth-part to insert into its prey and suck out the insides. They are slender, often yellowish-brown and about 8 -12 mm (3/8 to 1/2 inch) long. The wings lie flat across the back, crossing at the tips. The abdomen is slightly swollen and the body tapers toward a narrow, elongated head. The adult female inserts white colored eggs into the stem of the plant --only the egg cap shows. Damsel Bug nymphs are a little smaller than their parents, do not have fully developed wings, but otherwise resemble wingless adults in shape and color. Be a little careful with damsel bugs because they are predators and can give a painful bite to big and small alike-Ken Wise
Some kind of bug... Came across three or four of these (not so little) guys.
This one posed for my camera... :D
Spotted this "Skinnbagge" while shooting the Art Promenade. It is the official landscape bug of Södermanland, and as we are in Södermanland, it was very appropriate of the bug to pose for me.
Sat under a tree today, reading a TIME interview with Ahmadinejad when this bug plopped right onto the page from above. Chased it around for a while before I let it scamper off into the grass.
Life is so busy, and I feel like I am getting further behind not catching up. Here are a few random shots of the girls from the last few weeks
