Heavy, fat, pounding
The scent of the pummelled earth
Rain after the heat

I volunteered at a wildlife park a while back. One of the workers became extremely excited when she found this big bug. And then she goddam gifted it to me. Me…..a non bug type person! I was trying to be cool about it, so she’d think I was into bugs. Took it home and gifted it to my husband. πŸ‘€πŸ™„ who is also not a bug person.

I think they’re called giant spiny leaf insects? People keep them as pets. Apparently. I ended up releasing it, as I’d been tasked with looking after the goldfish for a weekend one time and managed to overfeed them and they all died. ☹️

This is me gifting it to my husbands shoulder πŸ˜‚ so I could take a photo.

So not being a fan of bugs, they seem to find me! This was at my motel in Hervey Bay, Queensland. I think its a rhinoceros beetle, and it was huge. Apparently they dont bite or inject you with toxic venom πŸ˜‚β€©

This is what happens when you put a dead pot plant in the ground in Queensland πŸ™„

I wanted a tropical garden. In Jan 2019, My husband built the frame for me. The second photo is Jan 2021. The hanging flower is a Brugmansia. I now have an irrigation system cos I got sick of holding a hose 😬 Its pretty weed free, which is good, because I’m I’m not going in there as I’m terrified of big spiders. And In Qld everything wants to kill you πŸ˜‚πŸπŸ•·οΈ
