Cleared for takeoff

[stuny]

Every night while in the lowland rainforests of PNG when we returned to our room we’d find the mosquito netting deployed over the beds, and the netting covered with moths. We would seldom see moths during the day, other than the next morning when we’d find hundreds of their bodies on the floor, probably the victims of the ceiling fan. This one was unlike the rest and preferred the bathroom floor. This close up is NOT via the DRM, but actually via the FX01.

Good shot Stuart , but I think not the ceiling fan its most likely contact toxins sprayed on the wall . After all Malaria is not a joking matter.

Well, because of your travel galleries, I almost had my wife convinced that PNG should be our next trip until you described the moths all over the mosquito netting! I think that would give her hives. Great catch of the little critter.

Regards,

I feel the sting.

Manfred, Albert & Haim - thank you.

Henry - PNG is not for everyone. The infrastructure of this largely stone-age country is rather lacking, and there are dangers, all of which can be greatly mittigated. It is also not a place to visit "on the cheap", backpacking about. But the fascinating culture and extreme beauty of the land and the people are more than worth it. And if you do SCUBA, it's one of the best places in the world for that. Contact me via email with any questions.
