The Buddha footprint is covered with gold papers, money and sara flowers. Perhaps one of the more curious aspects of Buddhism is the tradition of Buddha footprints. Many temples will have reproductions of the feet of Buddha. But the curious part is the tradition that real footprints can be found in the countryside. This tradition holds that the Buddha, or an incarnation known as “the future Buddha” left these to guide us to enlightenment. Since most of these footprints are the size of a bath-tub, the future Buddha apparently is not someone to mess with. |

Two orange weaver ants challenging each other on a wooden pole. Weaver ants are obligately arboreal and are known for their unique nest building behaviour where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. Colonies can be extremely large consisting of more than a hundred nests spanning numerous trees and contain more than half a million workers. Like many other ant species, weaver ants prey on small insects and supplement their diet with carbohydrate-rich honeydew excreted by small insects. |
