Taman Rimba Kiara is a little green gem located in a corner of the TTDI residential area. The above flowering tree, the firmiana malayana or mata lembu, flashes in testimony to man's care-less-ness - it's one of only two trees in the park that had flowered, since then the tree had been chopped down.

The other beauty

 A gem of a find that truly stood out even from afar, and I couldn't have enough of it.

It's the Red Coffee Borer (Polyphagozerra coffea), considered a pest (?!) of the tea and coffee plants.


When the sun came out, it remained as it was as if out sunbathing even as I closed in on it.

How could this beauty be a pest?  How can such beauty be lethal?
