OWIE! Wheel Bug (ArIus Cristatus), is a large North American assassin bug. It is a prized garden resident with a voracious appetite for garden pests, but can inflict an extremely painful bite. #insects #wheelbug #assassinbug #arthropods #photography #foto #photo #wildlife #nature

A gray, very large assassin bug hanging onto a screen door. Called a Wheel Bug for the odd, gear-like crest on top of the thorax, it is a voracious predator. Welcomed in gardens because of its appetite for caterpillars, it can deliver an extremely painful bite if irritated. The veiny, shiny, dark brown patch at the end of the abdomen are the visible portion of its large membranous wings. Yup, this beast can fly.

Besides the fact that he gets his facials using Gerber Carrot Puree, and that ridiculous coif looks like it was modeled off a fucking caterpillar (see below), you just KNOW he smells of stale urine, skid marks, and pure old man funk.

A very furry, yellow "haired" caterpillar that looks likes DJ Drumpf's comb-over.

On of the several hundred granite sculptures erected to honor past saints of Brittany area. La Vallée des Saints, Bretagne, France. One of the most magical places Ive ever been( and yes, they are on a hilltop) #lavalleedessaints #sculpture #brittanyfrance #artists #stonesculptures #france #art #foto

This is a large, meters tall granite statue that represents a named saint in Brittany's history. Numbering in the hundreds, these sculptures are scattered on a rural hilltop, overlooking a farmed valley below. This one is a bare chested and bearded man, his cloak draped over his right forearm. He also has, what appears to be, a miniature church or cathedral on top of his head. All carved out of regional granite.

A photo taken with a camera accidentally left on the wrong settings. La chapelle Saint-Gildas was built about 1500, the spire added in 1757. World Heritage site. It is very near the La Vallée des Saints (A MUST SEE!!). Carnoët, Bretagne, France. #france #photo #foto #france #brittanyfrance #brittany

A small, stone 16th century chapel in Brittany France. Built in 1500, the spire was added in 1757. Founded near a spring, blessed by an old Brittany saint, which was believed to bring healing to animals. It is spartan in appearance, small and with low, windowless walls. It is a World Heritage site.
