Planthopper, Singapore

A Lilliputian in Gulliver's Travels -

After a thunderstorm passed, I heard a soft bellow somewhere along the trail. It took me awhile to locate the source and I identify a miniature cone, in fluorescent strips of safety orange and cyan perched on a leaf. I watched with amusement how he whirled round at a snail’s pace calling out: “My name is Nickelodeon, slow down there’s a muddy road ahead! Hikers and bikers in blue jeans and white socks, proceed with caution. Only those wearing nothing except gumboots needn’t fear. Mucky route ahead!” At that instant, the traffic warden's candid message and his gay colours brightened the dark skies.
