Filthy Creatures

We drove up into the mountains on our scooters today and spent some time walking up the boulder-strewn river, swimming in the deeper pools, sliding off rocks and jumping off waterfalls. We also happened across some pretty interesting insects. There are two pictures here. One is of a butterfly and some bees which were inexplicably drawn to my slop, where I can only hazard to guess that they were harvesting my toe-jam for honey. Sies! Someone might actually eat that. The other picture is what I like to call "poo with wings", a hideous thumb-sized bug. Fortunately this creature was dead. I hope it didn't reproduce. It's just too ugly.
