http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JYY4-uuMPF4/TjY_y2Ye0qI/AAAAAAAAAEI/ra4QTo7clZQ/s1600/Image0090.jpg Like lemmings to the cliff, there is one species of caterpillar in Athens where they will do mass migration to god knows where every summer. To new sources of food, I guess. It can be a frigthening sight - caterpillars everywhere! (You can stop laughing at me now) Most will stumble onto the pavements and get stuck in the water drainage holes by the side of the road, or they will be crushed by the cars if the lead caterpillar decides to march across the road. Like the human wave military tactic used by China in the 50s, it's an awesome sight (I can speak American OK?) to see the caterpillars march on despite the carnage up ahead. Perhaps they can't see beyond the ass of the caterpillar in front? I was going to write a satire post on the "herding" behaviour of humans - be it in politics, our investment decisions, or our lifestyle choices (fashion, for eg). Then it struck me! (I realise I like to use "then" a lot. A very Singaporean trait - then, hor!) If a picture is worth more than a thousand words, whatever I write will be superfluous. Silly me! I shall stop and leave you alone with the picture above, and this question: Where do you see yourself in the picture? (Ouch!) Singapore Man of Leisure (welcome to my blog; just google it!)
