Today I'll show you a variety of green in my life!
Living in the country as we do, there is always some unexpected delight awaiting me when I go outside and it is often in shades of green!
Mushrooms always fascinate me with the interesting patterns they make when they just pop up in unexpected places around the yard. I think they look so cool against the green grass! I can almost imagine fairies and elves living beneath them! With that lush, green grass as a carpet it seems a perfect place to be!
My husband often brings me things of interest he finds outside...LOL - like snakes, dead scorpions- etc!!
Well, knowing my involvement with Anna's 'Project Green' at the present, he knew I'd be interested in seeing this green bug he found yesterday! It's a type of Scarab Beetle (Dung Beetle.) Yah-I know-that is pretty gross but it's an interesting bug and very colorful! While researching this beetle I found a lot of info on them and this picture that looks like the one we found. It's hard to be sure as there are over 30,000 of these related beetles!

This is another bit of GREEN in my life that's always fun!
Imagine finding this, way down south!
:) Yummy Italian food!!
...Look for the green in your life!

In late spring and all of summer (where we live anyway), it's always interesting to see how many shades of green there are in the landscape.

Hi Junie,
ReplyDeleteI love the mushrooms - they remind me of drum cymbals!
I don't care what the others say - the bug is a gorgeous shade of green!
Have a good night!
