Crossy Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I can see a creature of some kind hanging under the branch. How big is it? Probably a caterpillar of some kind, they often have irritating poison on the hairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't see a critter, What is contained in the highlight box repeats at equally spaced intervals in the original picture, so if that is the critter I would say they are incredible disciplined and spatially oriented. Personally I suspect it is a coordinated conspiracy effort (so far very successful) by TVF to have as staring at a branch all day.

An alternative theory could be as described below I have often told Canukamuck about the dangers associated with his tiny hat. Though very attractive and a fine fashion statement , I am afraid it restricts blood flow to the brain and provides inadequate protection from the Thai sun, Finally I am afraid the combination of the above shortcomings of this otherwise very attractive item of headgear are finally taking their toll and he is seeing things. I think it is best that we humor him as he can be very dangerous when irritated. So, Oh Oh my ,my, now I see it , it looks dangerous better stay away from it. Better inform the proper authorities. He he he he. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
