Our bountiful yard
Here's the fruit that we picked from our yard one day recently. There were 9 more clumps of bananas that our landlords took for their own use and to distribute to friends and neighbors.
That same day I got an unwelcome introduction to a new kind of Thai animal...some kind of wood-boring, flying black bug that has a ferocious sting. I found out about the last part when I unwittingly put my hand over its hole. My whole hand swelled up and took about two days to get back to normal size. That's why the picture is just of his back end - I wasn't about to risk another sting coaxing him out for a better picture!
