This was 2 Sundays ago. No morning walk because we were preparing to go to church.
Morning sky at 8:05am.
~~~~~
Preparing for home cooked dinner.
Green Amaranth growing in a tiny vegetable plot.
Harvested Green Amaranth enough for 2 of us.
Sauteed Green Amaranth with garlic, water and salt.
Nyonya Assam Prawns with a packet of paste.
Fried half pack of papadum to eat with the Nyonya Assam Prawn.
Simple home cooked dinner for 2.

I received the following photos from my friend, Aislynn.
Using Google Lens, this bug was identified as Batocera rubus.
Common names: White spotted Longhorn, Mango Longhorn, Rubber Root Borer.
It has long legs and very long horns, much longer than its body.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Shout to the LORD, all the earth;
break out in praise and sing for joy!
Sing your praise to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn.
Make a joyful symphony before the LORD, the King!
(Psalm 98:4-6, New Living Translation-NLT)
That is one crazy bug!! looks dangerous but no? There's a lesson there....#Saturdays critters
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lydia. The bug is a pest and does a lot of damage to trees.
DeleteWhat a horrible looking bug! Have you ever seen a real one?
ReplyDeleteI don't mind seeing it in the open space but not in the same room as me..
DeleteYou cooked the assam prawns? Oooo...I'm salivating! Never had it with papadum though - can only get to eat that at the Indian restaurant here - not easy to buy to fry one's own, too few Indians here.
ReplyDeleteThank you, STP. Papadum is easily available here in my area
DeleteYour sky photo is wonderful. But that bug is rather scary! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie. Happy new week.
DeleteThat longhorn looks like a well designed war machine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shiju. Am glad it looks like only.
