It is real!
It was on my shirt when I was gardening and I got my camera and snapped about 20 images of it.
Yes!
I have more!
Thanks for the interest!

Haha, yea, I can imagine that!
Actually, the most bugs are up in the north of Sweden. I think it has to do with that northern Sweden is much less polulated, and poluted. You see, in Sweden we have huge problems with acidic water. -Not only the bugs gets effected, but also the fish and other marine life. Sometimes the waters are so poluted, that they are black listed, and the fish is too dangerous to eat due to that the acidic water releases heavy metals, such as mercury and other dangerous substances. It's very little fish where I live these days...
The main cause of the acidic waters are poluted air, that is transfered from bigger cities. -Also from other countries. So all factories, and power plants. The worst power plants are coal and the terrible nuclear plant, which oddly enough, they call modern.
The nuclear plants spread radioactivity continuously. Which many people don't know about.
Hey, talking about nuclear power, Australia don't have a single nuclear power plant! Wooohoooooo!!!
Go Australia!! You're a role model!

We have our problems here too!
Not to that scale yet!
But!
Just haven't had enough time to destroy it all yet.
They are trying to though.
It's so sad the way some people think they are the landlords of the planet.
We are not!

Yes.
Well, they say we have democracy here in Sweden. -But we just vote for a party that will lead for 4 years! I can't call that full democracy.
Yes, every country has it's problems. There is no completely flawless country. -I hear so many people think that Sweden is such a great country, until I tell them how it really is. -I would say that Sweden is a mediocre country after all. Haha, Norway is much better. )) But I guess they have different problems.
Well, there is much more goodness in the world and life! -One should not concentrate on the bad parts, it will make one succumb. )
Life is good. )

Wow, what a strange bug! How completely awesome though.
I'm pretty sure it's a type of leaf-footed bug, somewhere in the juvenile stages of its development.
Course I could be completely wrong, that's just what it looks like to me.

I think this bug is awesome too!
Very astounding stuff!

You're welcome!
I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, but it certainly does look like a juvenile leaf-footed bug. I have a tendency to randomly research insects sometimes xD
