A Bug's Life

The summer heat and humidity helps the rice grow strong, and also brings along some interesting bug life.

Every summer we find a influx of insects on our doorstep - from oversize spiders to collectable beetles to the as-yet-unidentified.

Here are some pictures we took of recent discoveries on our balcony.


A beetle poses for us.



Here's a beetle, which kids like to keep as "pets".



Un-identified insect - Brian has made this picture his desk top background.

One of the "benefits" of living in a temperate climate ... lots of insects!

The black one that Brian has made into his desktop is a Gomadara longhorn beetle the other two look like Nokogiri kuwagata - the saw leg stag beetle. Nice pictures.
