No, am not really talking about two souls secretly meeting between banana bushes in the middle of the night to unleash their passionate love - no. I just couldn't think of anything else to title this post really ... so there.
The truth is, when I took that first photo up there, it looked similar to the second one but I've decided to enlarge it on my phone. I just let my thumb and index finger slide on the screen and that does the trick then I took a screenshot of it - makes it bigger and I really want to emphasize the details of this unusual looking creature. Well, if photo shop is accepted here, my way of editing photos should be, too, yes? I hope so ... because I'd like to be doing more of such just to show the details. Don't worry, I normally just crop when needed and add my account name on my photos and do nothing more most of the time. I like it that way ~~ ... shows whatever subject I took as it is.
Oh yeah, I also saw their eggs on the banana tree where they were. Some hatched and some - probably newly laid. The winged version - not a sight ... ~~ probably nocturnal? Forgive me but I didn't have a chance to know.
I grew up with my grandparents in the countryside in the Philippines and I remember playing hide and seek with my friends back then and one of the places where I like hiding are the bananas that grow so close to each other in the backyard of my grandparent's house just before we reach the pond. I have to admit that I have never seen these there.
I wonder whether it was because the bananas were taller than I was so the leaves were actually above me? Not a chance to see any of these or ... this banana tree is till my hips and there were a lot of them on it. The first time I've seen these, was in Germany - years ago~~ but the banana tree there was till my neck and I've only seen two or three, I can't really remember.
This one banana - it hosts a lot of them. Do they freak me out? No. They look very very peaceful and I really love the way caterpillars move. Must be weird for you but I grew up with a lot of these so it's normal for me.
The banana tree? If these are of that kind that stays awake at night then they probably chew a lot of them banana leaves but don't worry, you could cut the banana trees in half and the lower half would just grow back as long as you don't cut it too short and it stays well taken care of and properly provided the things it need.
Yes, I have to also admit that I would very much like to grow banana trees here. I've seen it on the neighbor and they have managed to make one fruit so there...~~ and if these guys would be present on them ... oh! That would be a wonderful bonus!
