Can you name the insect without checking 字典?:)

I was about to leave, but suddenly I spotted the insect on the wall. Without checking dictionary, can you name him? I forgot. I raised my cell and took a pic for him. (Plz see above.)

 A guy who was sitting on the bench asked me something, i was so focused on taking the pic, and I thought he wanted to enter the building. He said, “Oh, I work as a Chaplain here. I thought you have trouble in entering the building? I may open the door for you.” I said, “Oh no. I have my badge with me. I am taking the pic! What is its name? ”

He took a look, and said “praying ~~~~~~”. He reminded me. He also showed me his cell with the spelling of ~~~~~~ 

“You should have studied biology instead of people.” He was kidding. 

I said, “ I wanna study both:)” I always like to joke around for sure. 

“Hahaha”

 

I have new interns this month,  which means, I have to teach them a lot from the very basics.

 I was very tired today. However, after studying biology for 2 minutes, I was refreshed again.得意

写完上面去查了字典,拼写是对了。记忆大不如从前了,有时候一个人名,一个单词明明知道却想不起来:) -暖冬cool夏- 给 暖冬cool夏 发送悄悄话 暖冬cool夏 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 10/09/2024 postreply 00:28:36
