In my next few posts, I'll be putting up pictures, organized thematically. This one is about insects. So if you don't like bugs, you may as well stop now.
We found this multi-colored, multi-textured caterpillar in the park in Tlalpan. Julia picked it up on a little stick, and look what happened!
We were all scared that it might sting, but she finally returned to her insect-loving roots and petted it. Nothing bad happened to her. But I think the caterpillar might have been traumatized by the whole event.
These guys are so weird. They're like hairy sow bugs. At Teotihuacan (where most people go to see the pyramids, including the massive Temple of the Sun--third largest in the world, but I'm not sure if that's by height, volume, or what).
Just so you can see something more conventionally pretty, here's a butterfly in some bougainvillea at the Templo Mayor, in the center of the city. It was discovered and excavated in 1978. The funny thing is, a drainage canal was built in 1900 going right through it. Seven layers of thick brick walls, and the canal diggers never thought, "Hey, what is this place?"
