2 weeks after born, her mom went out and never returned, we suspected of food poisoning, because the time she went out, our gardener sprayed the compound with weed killer. She left her 5 kitties.

the rhinoceros beetle

The rhinoceros beetles or rhino beetle are a subfamily (Dynastinae) of beetles in the family of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae). They are among the largest of beetles, and their common name refers to the characteristic horns borne by the males of most species in the group. The male beetles use their horns in mating battles against other males. Their larval stage is long, several years in some species. The larvae feed on rotten wood while the adults feed on nectar, plant sap and fruit. Rhinoceros beetle larvae are sometimes fried and eaten as a bush delicacy. However, their greatest economic importance is as pests: Oryctes rhinoceros especially can de-foliate and sometimes kill coconut and oil palms in the SE Asian and Pacific regions. Biological controls heve been developed, based on entomopathogen viruses and the fungus Metarhizium majus. Rhinoceros beetles are popular pets in Asia. They are clean, easy to maintain, and safe to handle. In Asian countries, male beetles are also used for gambling fights since they naturally compete for female beetles with the winner knocking the other off a log. Rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet in relation to their own size. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight. to know more, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_Beetle

SIAPA YANG PERLUKAN DUIT?

saya tak perlukan duit. saya tak perlukan duit? ya..memang betul. apabila saya ke stesen minyak untuk isi minyak kereta, mereka minta duit daripada saya. apabila saya ke pasar ikan untuk membeli ikan, mereka perlukan duit saya. apabila saya ke kedai gunting rambut, selepas rambut saya digunting, mereka perlukan duit saya. jadi, sebenarnya mereka yang perlukan duit, bukan saya, kerana apabila saya dapat duit, saya berikan mereka duit untuk mendapatkan barangan atau perkhidmatan mereka. any way, selamat menyambut hari guru kepada semua warga pendidik di seluruh negara.
