    Default TC visits sector 17

    some records to share

    The plants there is almost my height, can see that nobody was there.

    Saw 3 TC feeding and playing at the patch.



    It has been a long time since i've encountered another pristine malayan. Surprisingly the host plant which is similar to the semanga are divided very clearly. I don't see any semanga activities around the malayan area. Check for cats etc and they don't exist, maybe due to the location of the host plant. Saw 3 of them laying eggs today.



    Cheers!

    The hostplant for the TC Passiflora foetida is also found where the Biden philosa is located on the sector.

    The initial sapplings of both Passiflora foetida and Biden philosa, now thriving at Ow's enclosure, were transplanted from that patch.

    The patch is really thick now almost chest high at some area, that shows how fast the lallang and other weeds grow within two to 3 months.

    That is why shooting is getting more difficult when the plot thickens. Well generally what we can do is to go there more often. Flatten the ground as nobody cuts the grass there.

    The Biden philosa is growing so wildly that i get dizzy after awhile.

    Hopefully we can encounter rarer butts there!

    Cheers!
