Impresionante edificio sagrado con una imponente cúpula: la Karlskirche, la última gran obra del arquitecto estrella barroco Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach.
Completado en 1739 por su hijo Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, fue construido sobre la base de un voto hecho por el emperador Carlos VI. durante una epidemia de peste. La iglesia está consagrada al santo patrón del emperador de los Habsburgo, San Carlos Borromeo: El pequeño Museo Borromeo exhibe, entre otras cosas, la ropa de viaje del obispo milanés.
El altar mayor diseñado por Fischer von Erlach vuelve a brillar con todo su esplendor después de su renovación. Los exuberantes frescos de la cúpula de Johannes Michael Rottmayr cubren 1250 m² de color y muestran la gloria de San Carlos Borromeo. Un ascensor panorámico lleva a los visitantes a una plataforma de 32,5 metros de altura, donde pueden ver los frescos de cerca. La vista de la iglesia desde arriba es impresionante.
A Green Bottle Fly and the tiniest ant I can imagine seemed to circle each other on the Black-eyed Susan in my garden.
The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper indigenous to parts of China and Vietnam. It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Its preferred host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), but it infests economically significant plants including soybean, grapes, stone fruits, and Malus spp.
The species was accidentally introduced into South Korea in 2006 and Japan in 2009, and has since been considered a pest. In September 2014, L. delicatula was first recorded in the United States, and as of 2022, it is an invasive species in much of Northeastern United States and is rapidly spreading south and west.[4] L. delicatula's egg masses have been found to be the primary vector of spread, with Ailanthus altissima populations seen as a risk factor for further infestation globally. Ongoing pest control efforts have sought to limit population growth, due to the threat L. delicatula poses to global agricultural industries.
Note: I have seen many immature lantern-fly in my garden, you're supposed to smash them when noticing. Not much success as they flew away as soon as you approached them, unless they were on the ground, then, you might be able to smash them at once.
The Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and was first detected in Pennsylvania in September 2014. Spotted lanternfly feeds on a wide range of fruit, ornamental and woody trees, with tree-of-heaven being one of the preferred hosts. Spotted lanternflies are invasive and can be spread long distances by people who move infested material or items containing egg masses. If allowed to spread in the United States, this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard, and logging industries.
Note: It's a PEST, so that you're supposed to destroy it when see them. I found this in my son's vegetable garden. They see quite a few a day.
On a street near our apartment in Pest. And thanks to Endre Savari (on Flickr), I now know what it is:
The two-figure sculptural composition is meant to depict the theatre/the play, and is actually an inverted image of Hamlet, with the death-head figure holding the artist’s head in his hand. The head depicts Géza Hofi, who was a Hungarian actor, singer and the greatest humourist in Hungary. He died in 2002 and this public statue was created in his honour.
This Robin was catching insects on my rose bush, as it is feeding it's young in next door's garden. Taken this morning through the window.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
There’s a frog hanging out in my cucumber wall, hopefully ridding it of pests. I asked it to please leave the bee’s be.
European Starlings are an invasive, considered to be a pest in some parts of the US. Even so, I think that they are quite beautiful.

Blue Green Aphid (Acyrthosiphon kondoi)
Quite of few of these pests around now. Hopefully the Ladybirds will arrive soon.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday!
This is really a tiny insect, the Pea Weevil which is a pest to pea and bean plants. I am not sure if it is of the Lady Mantle plant which it is on! I think it is on the leaf, as you can see, to access the plenty of water drops to drink from!
Invasive Destructive Pest - Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph. These insects have caused severe damage to trees and fruit orchards, yet booths nymph and the adult are quite beautiful.
And yes I did destroy this one after photographing it.

First she was the voice of the people, now she feeds them DARLING!
"What a resounding success this charitable endeavour has and continues to be, feeding the mouths of those impoverished masses affected by our dwindling economy. Call me Philanthropena Pest, darling. Doing what our politicians won't do. Just don't ask me what's in the ingredients, darling, because it's a secret. *smoky laugh!*
Come one, come all, darling! You don't need to bring anything (although a camera always helps)! All publicity is good publicity, unless it's really bad publicity in which case, this stand was made possible by Saffron Macauley's money, darling. Mwah!
Saw three this morning for the first time ...Eating all of my lemons and now even starting on my green half grown prunes .

I didn’t realize that Budapest is actually comprised of two distinct areas, Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River until I arrived there. It is another enchanting European city, steeped in history and filled with endless places to explore. I captured this photo early one morning in the biting cold of spring! I can still remember my phone and my other electronics shutting down unexpectedly because of the freezing wind!
