A Bug's Bouquet

My forced incarceration comes with an added bonus. Now that I can wonder aimlessly as a cloud around the garden, I actually have time to look more closely at the multitude of flowers blooming all over Hyde Parc in this fertile season. All I have to do is attempt to ignore the weeds...

With flowers come bugs. The garden is alive with them. Everywhere you look. 

Some as beautiful as the flowers themselves.

Some as detailed as they are bizarre.

Many have evolved their own methods of self-preservation.

A sting in the tail...

Or a sting at both ends...

Others may look beautiful, but decimate the local plants. This one's larvae eat palm trees...

Whereas others are both beautiful and work hard to keep the garden fertile...

So here, in summary, are sixty seven photos taken in the garden over the last couple of weeks.

Enjoy, a lot. Or cringe, a little...
