There isn't much left to write in this post. The title says it all. Or almost all. I have some black and white photographs to show you. You'll see twelve species in twenty-two pictures. I won't tell you the scientific names and that kind of stuff. This post is here just to display some relatively cool pictures with no color. Have a good viewing.

It's a beautiful day. I'm writing these ramblings, and the weather outside is quite lovely. It is lovely indeed. Indeed.

The beetle was freneticaly flying, and kept falling, then flying again. It looked disoriented. I caught it and put it on one of the trees in my garden. From there, the beetle climbed one of the branches and flew away, disappearing high in the sky. I didn't photograph it, but ...

... but you can still see how a male European rhinoceros beetle looks, thanks to this old photograph I took in 2007. I have a feeling that the price of Hive will explode in September. It's just a feeling. A kind of feeling that left me disappointed quite a few times so far. We'll see. These days, I find myself daydreaming about the price reaching three or four dollars in October.
