In the spirit of cat-blogging, I offer up bug-blogging.
I like bugs. I like dragonflies. I enjoy when my cats line up cicadas in the backyard.
Besides, I think that emerald borer is shiny. And it's Friday.
This is a Japanese beetle called tamamushi, or "jewel-bug". I've only seen pictures, but apparently the iridescence shifts from red to green depending on the angle. The word for its color, tamamushi-iro, means something that looks beautiful from all sides but always different.
Seems like an apt metaphor for something.
