This uninvited guest has been showing up in my kitchen. Today, the place will be fumigated and hopefully there will be no more bugs.
Pictures of the cool exhibit at the Volkswagen Group Forum DRIVE building in Mitte at the intersection of Friedrichstraße und Unter den Linden. From the Visit Berlin site - "With the 'ICONIC – A Timeless Journey of Culture, Society and Mobility' exhibition, in its Berlin representative office the Volkswagen Group presents icons of modernity, which have shaped, among other things, mobility, design, architecture and art from the 1950s to the present day."
The exhibit is open until December 2025.
After pounding the chili peppers, garlic, bugs, coriander and green onions to make a paste, we got to taste our handiwork. The bugs had a kind of "sharp" taste, whereas the eggplant and tomato jeow had milder flavors.
A bug Jennene Found and I had to photograph it. This is the regal shot. I can't decide on a name. Tomato Bug or Garden Bug (he's on a tomato plant). The third option would be to call it Cicada, because that's what it is.
A Trio of Bug Eyed Monsters. They never miss anything that goes on around them and are always sure to win out in any staring contest!
This strange insect was on the outside of the bathroom window this afternoon. Anyone have any idea what it is?

I put a note on there where the bug is. See him? (View at largest size; it helps.) Now this tiny weed flower is 3/4" in diameter measured petal tip to petal tip...so how tiiiiiiny is that bug?! :-D

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

Doing this set of shoots almost freaked me out.. Am so scared of bugs but theyre just to hard to resist... haha...
This picture show's the stinger (up front) and sticking out. He knew I was there and was readying himself if I truly started to bother him.
