Time to leave Sweden??

According to old wisdom a lot of rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) berries is a sign that the coming winter will be very long, cold and snowy. I have never seen the rowan trees as red as they are this year. Brrr...

Rhinoceros caterpillar ??

What on earth is this??  It looks like a combination of a normal caterpillar, a rhino and a space creature with several yellow eyes. If you know what it is, please let me know!!


Cardinal Beetle (Pyrochroa coccinea)

Several Cardinal beetles have invaded parts of Svångemåla. Good looking and hungry creatures. Not my favourites.

What is Mr. Bullfinch brewing??

He is getting less afraid of me and looks down on me with a very daring stare so the question is if he is brewing something "a bit stronger" in his house made up of hops???
