Pretty Wild Bamboo Orchid

Every time, I travelled along the Borneo trunk road, I saw a lot of these small pretty flowers standing along the road verges. I had also transplanted a few to my house or farm, but it did not seem to survive. The plants like to be left alone and grow wild.


Orange Parabolic Fungus

It is really outstanding with it orange colour. The surface looks so smooth and sunny. A few months back, I had published the smaller orange fungus at my old house, but this time it is bigger.

Balancing White Egret

Look how I can balance my long body well on the wire. 
Why the circus never invites me to perform in the show? 


Dark Tit (Hypolycaena theocloides2)

Quite a while has not seen this butterfly in my farm. Now, it is appearing again. 
The butterfly is distinct because it seems to have two heads, you may not be able to distinguish the head and the tail far away, as they all look like head, a decoy to protect itself from predator.




Small Brown Shell Houses

"Knock knock Knock, Who is staying inside?"

Only one is still occupied, the other four shell houses had been broken. They cemented firmly onto the side of a plastic container in my farm. Guess who were the occupants?  Bumpy bees ? Wasps?

I had the urge to break the last one and checked what lived inside. But finally, I refrained from doing so. Nature, just be it, should be able to find out from other sources.

The little green Worm

The small green creature is less than 10mm long and is about 1mm diameter, crawling on my hand. I have to take off my spectacle see this little worm moving on my hand. It looked like it dropped from the small trees or bushes which I was cutting. It is likely a resident on the green leaves to match its colour.
May be it tried to find holes on my skin to enter, but don't worry,  I closed all my wounds with plaster sheets. 
What happens it drops on my ears or eyes? Probably it would crawl in!
Worms not only live in the ground, they also live on trees.


Jack Fruits

Suddenly, I found this tree came out with more than fifty fruits throughout the forty feet high tree. It was indeed encouraging after seeing so many fruits growing, with sizes from 50mm to 175mm. Last year, there was no fruit growing out on this tree.
I have to wait for at least another month for the fruits to mature. 
But can the fruits last that long, as I also saw a squirrel jumping from one branch to another on the tree.
