This photo is a teaser, to raise curiosity of “what is out there in the jungles of Central America?” We all know the jaguars, monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, scorpions. What about the marvels of unexpected plants?
Why is the back of this sapling sticky BLOOD RED?
What is the fuzzy furry stuff on the other side? Is this a giant larva of a giant moth or butterfly crawling up the sapling?
I photographed this with my iPhone 12 Pro Max because it was pouring rain, so was not good idea to pull out a sophisticated Nikon, Canon, or Sony camera that we have lots of. But with an umbrella over my head I was able to capture this “bloody encounter.”
More next week. We are curious if anyone recognizes that is the monster generating the BLOOD.
With the cooperation of the Municipio de Livingston, and the team of FUNDAECO, we of FLAAR (USA) and FLAAR Mesoamerica (Guatemala) spent several days exploring the rain forests of Cerro San Gil, Municipio de Livingston, Izabal, Guatemala, Central America.
