Ed: someone should have warned her about the dreaded African Nose-Biting Beetle
Yah, they're like pitbull dogs. If one of those bulls bites you then they have to break its jaw to get you free from it. Things are not quite the same with the African Nose-Biting Beetle since that won't release either so they free you from a bite by one of those by breaking your nose.
Ed: what I'm sayin' ... someone should have warned her.
Ed: besides, she ain't hot so what does it matter anyway?
She's only just starting to bloom, Brutus. She will be dangerous while you're hanging around in a dark bar talking about the good ol' days that never were.
Ed: dangerous? what a load!
She's smart, she's inquisitive, and she's just starting to bloom. You bet she will be dangerous. Plus she has no time to waste on making herself up to look like a standard teenage poof. Unconventional scares people the most.
We have talked sometimes on Ithaka about the magic when a kid discovers blowing the seeds from a dandelion to watch them fly around and I see the same thing in this picture. Someone did one great job keeping this kid's curiosity alive and that will do her no harm at all.
Ed: except for when her nose gets bitten!
Well, there are risks.
Note: that's not the African Goliath Beetle and that means, yes, they have even bigger ones since the Goliath Beetle may even get as large as ten centimeters and imagine that monster flying around yer night light. (WIKI: Goliathus)
Feel some love from this big boy, huh?
Sweet dreams
