Wild Sex - Photo Of Mating Green Bugs

Photo of unidentified tropical green bugs mating. Due to their blending color with the leaves, I almost did not see them. Furthermore, they were have a good time under the leaves!


Unfortunately, I only have one shot of the bugs before they flew off.

Photo of Green Grapes in the Tropic

Below are photos of Green Grapes growing in the hot tropical land of Borneo. There are at least four kinds of green grapes, namely, Calmeria, Perlette, Sugarone and Superior Seedless (Menindee Seedless). I'm not sure which species the green grapes on the photo is.

Whatever it is, it pretty amazing to actually see grapes grown in humid and sunny places. The green grapes in this post are grown in a nursery of Borneo Highlands Resort, more than 3,000 feet above sea level.

Photo of Pen-tailed Tree Shrew - Ptilocercus lowii

Happy hours all night long for the Shrew

A research has revealed that the pen-tailed tree shrew (Ptilocercus lowii), commonly referred to as tupai ekor kembang, can drink the equivalent of a case of 3.8% beer every night but does not get drunk.

According to the scientists, the tree shrew has been living on a diet that is the equivalent of nothing but beer for up to 55 million years.

Humans only discovered the art of brewing and distilling alcoholic beverages some 9,000 years ago.

According to scientists, seven mammalian species in their study area consume alcoholic nectar daily from flower buds of the bertam palm (Eugeissona tristis), which they pollinate.

The 3.8% maximum alcohol concentration that they recorded is among the highest ever reported in natural food.
