Office Bug

Telling tales from around the world

Office Bug

There’s a bug going round the office. Kinda big, kinda scary – with long front feelers and a rather long body. Shot this with a macro lens, so it is probably 2-3 times life size here… Anyone know what it is???

There are a million bugs in the naked bush. And sooner or later, they all come crawling to me, looking for something. The answer, the truth, a new life, another chance. And I just send them on their way. My days of bugging around are over. I’ve settled down, don’t need their drama anymore.

Yet there she is, a female longhorn beetle, showing off her curves. She’s all that and she knows it. Femme fatale…

That’s the kind of office bug I can handle. She’s intriguing.

- I nearly jumped out of my skin when I first saw her. Those longhorn antenna lying together like that looked like one hell of a stinger.
  
  She left without so much a fare-thee-well… Tart!

2017 – year 9 for Titirangi Storyteller

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time. VMcP

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
