A little forest

the solar array

I got a bunch of moderately ripening fruits. Well, I'm going to make Moo shu pork to enjoy the texture of its rind.

Loving the striking orange fur on the hind legs.

The Jamaica cherry (Muntingia calabura) It tastes like fig because of the sourless juice and crunchy seeds.

ファミコン音源で『サザエさん一家』 このあたりのオタク人気が低い、というか遠い世界扱い(一部のネタ消費を除いて)の楽曲はチップチューンが供給されないので、聞きたければ自作するしか無いのよなあ。 Sazae-san Ikka with #2a03 This song has been used as the end credits theme since 1969 for Sazae-san, which is the longest-running anime. #chiptune #nes #famicom #8bit #famitracker youtu.be/C7nFLu7sssg

Ginger ale with green sichuan pepper

Giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) The droop hind legs are lovely

Wild ivy gourd on an abandoned site

Delta esuriens: some internet pages call it "Okinawa mud wasp", but I wonder if that name has been commonly used.

Golden strokes running on her black wings reminded me of ancient Egyptian statues.

Hairy rosette of Spiny Sowthistle and tiny mites swarming them I never knew their hair shapes like sausages.

No tubercle on dorsal Jagged-edged tail Indo-Pacific gecko, I guess

A queen moved into my home vegetable garden. She seems to love bean plants.

I’m in Thailand for work. Huge millipedes walk on city roads indeed!

The first mustard green in the wild this year

My headlamp caught a glossy bead on a shaved grass field. A drop of syrup slowly leaked from the new growth of a still alive reed.

A Crisp-banded hawkmoth had been wintering beside the entrance of my apartment building.

Fuzzy heads

😃

Tiny rosette of a Pseudognaphalium affine This plant has been used in traditional cuisines. However, I don’t really like it because it has too much woolly hair, which makes me feel like dental cotton pellets in my mouth.

Terrestrial form of Fringed Heartwort

I found many greens spawned on a faded floodplain yesterday. Is that a yellow marsh-cress? Though I memorized that the plant forms a rosette in winter around my locality, I suppose that’s also a result of global warming. By the way, that is one of the little-known tasty species. Let's take it home.

🥦Praise the Broccoli🥦

hey you're upside down

I did it! These heads can be scraped off with a gentle touch only if ripened enough.

A colony of oleander aphids on a dog-strangling vine I was lucky to frame pretty winged females who only appear for a short term.

These are not the destroying angels but highly likely white varieties of the big sheath mushroom. That is closely related to the straw mushroom, which is especially loved in Thailand. Yes, They are edible, IF JUST TRULY AND ACCURATELY BIG SHEATH MUSHROOMS. 🤔

Chinese pennisetum (Pennisetum alopecuroides), one of the species commonly called fountaingrass Its grains are large and easy to harvest in wild cereals in our surroundings. I'll try to meal it if I see it during the croppable season.

Young vine and a super spiny fruit of star-cucumber, unfortunately, they are invasive species in my neighbor Its spines become soft and can be removed easily with cooking, but the fruit is NOT edible. I got some flavors, cucumber, zucchini, and a toxic bitterness, probably including cucurbitacin.

Here are some feral churros

Tofu soup with gingers This is my fav when I catch a sore throat. 1/2 block of silken tofu, diced 1/2 to 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced 2 to 3 myoga ginger, julienned 1 tbsp oil 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vinegar 3 cup water And some toppings I made a fried goji berry this time.

Wild goji berries

The fruiting sequence of pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) fruits It seems to me that the "ink" was pumped and filled up through their stalks during ripening.

The sunset lighted his amber combs.

キイロハバチ (Monophadnus nigriceps)

Two of the spurge family weeds: Nodding spurge (Euphorbia nutans) and a problematic spurge The second one is usually called アレチニシキソウ ("wasteland spurge") in Japan, but amazingly, it has not been identified and named scientifically for over 70 years.

So it's fortuitous. That is a good stage sowthistle for salad despite summer. Oh, sorry. Could you share it with me? Wait, do you eat sowthistle also?!
