PHOTO HUNTERS: SMELLY

photohunters

This week’s theme is on SMELLY,
The caterpillar is not SMELLY but what it is eating is SMELLY.
The leaves have a strong SMELLY pungent smell.
These are the type of SMELLY leaves that will attract caterpillars.
It’s the leaves of the Kaffir lime tree.
The Thais use a lot of these in their cooking.

This is definitely SMELLY.
It’s called a Pentatomidae (SMELLY BUG).
Don’t ever disturb it as it will emit a pungent liquid
which it very SMELLY.

Love the insects but I probably wouldn't want to go near one, especially the bright green caterpillar.

Have a great weekend, Criz :)

Great photos. Kaffir linme is excellent. We get similar shield beetles in our garden. The smell they excrete is not nice. Happy weekend

Ahhhhhh.... you change your blog theme! I have to get down to mine, thanks to you.

The photots of the fat, juicy caterpillar and that bug are so awesome! I've never seen such a fat caterpillar before. (Oh no, I'm speaking as if I'm preparing to eat it. hehehe.....)

I love the smell of Kaffir lime and leaves though.

Cynthia said...

So caterpillars like Thai leaves? And I have never seen a bug like that,.. interesting that it lets out a stink when disturbed. Great photos and have a good weekend.

us southern folks call the bottom photo a stink bug, never saw the worm.

Great photos! Super choices for the theme. I've have seen that stink bug before

eastcoastlife said...

My dear Criz,
You've been tagged!

tanabata said...

I haven't been able to view flickr recently but I'm sure you're photos are suitably smelly! Thanks for visiting!

Here is the answer to your query on my blog:

"Hmm.. I guessed you must be busy with card making this week to be in PH. Anyway, I love all the cards, especially those autumn ones. No intention of using real leaves? you can spray a coat of lacquer on them you know? :)"

i am not too busy anymore. . . I just chose to not participate -- if you go to the first page of TNChick's site and scroll down a couple posts you will see my answer to why I am not doing pH's anymore. I will miss it.

Thanks for the tips on real leaves -- that might be fun to try. I might do that one day soon. I didn't know you could do that. Thanks again.

BTW, you have a great bunch of entries for the PH theme this week! I always enjoyed your photos.

Sorry to be so late with my comments - been travelling this weekend.
Yours are great shots but I have to say I'm not too fond of insects. I give them all a wide berth, whether smelly or not.

Talk..to..Grams said...

Thanks for your visit! Great photo's! Have a nice Sunday.

-tnchick- said...

Oh, nice shots! I think that first one looks very similar to a tobacco worm! Neat!

Amy's Blah, Blah, Blogging said...

I hope it didn't release the smell when you took the picture!
