Here's another shot I took in Milichovsky Les, on the same trail that I took the other Milichov photos posted so far. I jog on this trail now, since discovering it, although I've never gone all the way to Uhrineves, as it's prettier to go to Kreslice, which is also not as far.

These are Pyrrhocoris Apterus....or just uh....Firebugs, one of the most common species of insect in Central Bohemia. These ones are uhhhh....doin stuff. :-) :-) :-) Bugs don't count, though (do they?), so if Flickr makes a stink about this it would be very amusing. :-) If they throw me off for this one I'm not sure if I'll care. I took this in Milichovsky Les in Haje, Prague.

Here's a detailed, if a bit overexposed, shot of a Pyrrhocoris Apterus (Firebug), taken on a stone bridge (I think) in Milichovsky Les in Haje, Prague. If I had had a proper Macro lens, as opposed to a macro zoom, I probably could have got a better shot, but I'm not going to worry about it.

This is a rybnik, or pond, that borders Milichovsky Les and Sidliste Haje, and gives you a contrast between these two parts of Prague.

Milichovsky Les is so much more rural than Sidliste Haje that I even found this cabin there. I have no idea who owns it, but it looks perfectly suitable as a cabin if you can ignore the sound of cars coming in and out of Haje a few hundred meters away.

Just south of Sidliste Haje, at the southern border of the city, is this park, Milichovsky Les, which provides a striking contrast to Sidliste Haje. The trees mostly hide the Panelaks of the Sidliste, so that you would never know where you are if you didn't know the area. Notice that Kreslice, the nearest town to this part of Prague (although some maps consider it part of Praha 11, the street signs indicate that it's seperate, so I don't know who's really right), is only 2 Km. away. I don't know anything about Pitkovice, but Uhrineves is indisputably part of Prague.
