This is not in France...

The beautiful villages in France are very old... like "SAORGE"... Do you see the church on the left...?
I"m not interested by the new villages IF there are new ones. I'm 72 year old, I've never seen a new village. Our ancestors have kept the old villagest in good chape.

They are among us:





No. Seriously. Saw this thing early this morning. It was quite torpid in the morning chill (54 degrees Fahrenheit when we got up today). Initially, we couldn't see any legs, although it looks like it has four(?!?). Otherwise, it looked Beatle-esque beetle-esque. It is about 8 mm long.



As the morning warmed, it got more mobile, and its tiny yellowish legs became more obvious as it moved.




What the heck is it?
Any of all y'all know?

Alternatively, I'm looking for a good on-line photo ID for bugs/insects/small critters with exoskeletons -- and ideally not a phone app, since I didn't take the photos with my phone.

Ganvié is a village on "stilts" in French: "pilotis" - located in Republic of Bénin, Africa... I've been there 3 or 4 times when I was living
in Lomé Capital of Togo. I was 8 years old... but I remember when I was going there with my father and mom. How could I forget ?
In Bénin the language is French like many countries in Africa...
Even Madagascar, the second largest island in the world, speaks French...

THanks!
Yup, it is indeed. With some help (no mean amount of help!) I did figure that out as well.

I was 12 years old when I bought Playboy each month... and stopped 2 years later....

In 1965 I bought my Dad a subscription to Playboy as a birthday present. Wasn't entirely altruistic!
