The firmiana malayana or mata lembu, remains here in testimony to man's care-less-ness - its tree had since been felled. Let not the birds leave too.

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?
