In winter season, peanuts, roasted in the shell, are available and are a popular winter snack. They are imported from several African countries, or the U.S.
During eating some peanuts, I had the idea to show the interesting details of this fruit.
Guiapales, Costa Rica
The Peanut-head Bug is quite large. It can reach a length of 85–90 millimetres (3.3–3.5 in), with a wingspan up to 100–150 millimetres (3.9–5.9 in). This insect has a protuberance at its head as long as 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in), looking like a peanut and showing false eyes to resemble that of a lizard or a serpent. Although this insect is quite large, it can be very hard to see. During the day, it remains camouflaged on the trunk of a tree.
I was really excited to spot this insect during a trip to Costa Rica. We took pictures of the insect from various angles to fully appreciate its incredible colors, shapes and structures. After the short photo shoot, we put it back on the tree where I found it.

Within 20 seconds after I placed this peanut here, the blue jay swept down and grabbed it. I had called him and showed him the peanut then walked about 20 feet away. After he flew away with it, another jay showed up in no time. Then another. Then another.

This little wood pecker works diligently to retrieve a peanut. I have fun photos of my wildlife friends. They love this wheel.
Happy monochrome Thursday.

Funny how the squirrels always look so happy whenever they find a peanut when they are foraging for goodies.
We're broadcasting their treats into an open area of the yard because of stray cats that keep showing up, lurking close to the house no matter how often we chase them away.
Better safe than sorry.

This is Peanut. I learned, yesterday, that it was the voice of a sandhill crane that was used for the velociraptors in the movie, Jurassic Park. When I clicked this frame, Peanut had been startled by a sound.
Lost a Peanut Skippy spends time scratching around this tree, it looks like he is looking for something, or just entertaining himself, shot in North Carolina.
