Little Creature

You may expect some adventurous encounters from me in order to show the extreme excitements in the jungle. I have seen leeches standing upright in the middle of the trek, a little green snake, instead of crawling, was found skidding in an inclining dry channel when it was shocked by us unintentionally.

I have also seen some giant millipedes, instead of giving us surprises, were found smashed into flat pieces, and a big scorpion that did not bother my presence for a closer observation. But all these belong to the days when I did not have the habit of carrying any digital camera at anytime.

To add further, I always find the mess left over by wild boars at some areas in Cerok Tokun. These animals move around in the jungle at night time. They have an excellent sense of smell, and they use their snouts to search for food on the ground and in the soil.

Anyhow, what I actually want to show you now is what that looks very normal. It is a butterfly that had a rest on top of a fallen leaf. I had some special feeling for butterfly because I used to find a butterfly hovering above me, in front of me, at certain places on the trail. It may sound peculiar yet it happened many times.

This is certainly not the one that would like to talk to me in an inaudible frequency. It was discovered nearby the entrance to my new found trekking trail. Could it be possible that both of them are members of the "care-taker committee" of the jungle?

I do not have the answer for you, but deep in my heart, I think they are.
