China
The Auspicious Longhorn Beetle
August 31st, 2011
In Chinese, there is a saying that the “golden dragon brings good fortune”. The name of the longhorn beetle in Chinese is “divine bull”, so the four characters at the top (“The Divine Bull Brings Good Fortune”) are a play on the old golden dragon saying. The labels on the beetle are the names of its various body parts (thorax, antennae, etc).

When I first went to Hong Kong twenty years ago, these kind of chaotic apartment blocks were pretty common – I’m not sure how many are around any more.
