    Default pest and my catasetum roseoalbum spike

    i had been noticing this little fellow hopping around my orchids for sometimes. a few days ago it broke on bud of my roseoalbum. a little bit frustrated at that time but i guess it didn't bother me much until i notice this this morning. the tip of the spike was broken along with several buds with it. i guess that reptilian bungee junkie must had broken it off while he was hopping from one plant to another.
    gosh,,,,,,,the spike was the longest i had so far, it is over three feet long until this morning.......

    just look at the last pic of the culprit, with such an arrogant look and it really thinking of throwing several punches to the face. hahahahaha
    i can't remember the exact name of this creature but i remember Yew Sung(Cattan) posted about this one before.
