Hung

We were looking for one of Chai-Ying's classes and I happened to get a phone call from my mother, so I was falling behind the group, and Debbie decided (... or maybe she was just to0 lazy to walk anymore, LOL) fell behind with me. There after, Debbie and I soon lost Tony and Chai-Ying, who where, by the way, zipping along at light-speed for some odd reason, so we decided to stop and wait while I finished my phone call with my mother. I was looking around randomly and then I see IT! Right there on one of the pillars was .....


... Yes! I kid you not! ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOTHS/BUTTERFLIES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!

Seriously, that thing's wing span was almost as big as my head! And just the body itself was the size ... the size ... of a HOT DOG ... ZOMG HAHA!!! Me and Debbie debated for quite a while whether it was real or not. For a little, I was pretty convinced that it was fake but after examining this fine specimen up close and in detail, there was no way that it could have been fake. It was a genuine, all singaporian, freakishly big moth/butterfly.

We stared at it for the longest time and then a group of girls walked by and started to notice we were staring at this one stop, so they looked up as well and then for the next minute all I heard was "EWWWWWWWWW" and then many running foot steps of girls running away. Also, we kind of quickly exchanged greetings with two other exchange student from Switzerland who were also very interest in this bug. The guy, no idea what his name was, had a wicked SLR camera, I was so jealous. Anyways, here are a couple more pictures of this beast close up.
Pretty sweet hey? ... Oh and FYI the first picture of this post a was retake, because our first model, when told to "look and point" while I take a picture failed horribly, becaue it ended up as "I don't really want to be here and I don't really want to be too close to this ... thing ... EWWW."


That is all for now, Have a nice day! =)

P.S. For those of you who are curious... HAHA
