Paramin Scenery Trinidad

Image via bing images.
Here is another photo from Gail's Paramin collection. What is the 'mass' on the tree and does it have a good or bad effect on the tree? Hmm, is it a friend or foe to us?  How many of you remember growing up in Trinidad (hey many of us are in a fog and can't remember...LoL). Can you recall on a very rainy day what happens after the rain stops with nests like the one in the picture?  

Do you recall the inhabitants of nests (like the one in the photo above) coming out and flying around after the rainfall subsided?  We loved to swat them and I do recall we called them "Rain Flies"; but are they really "Flies"?

One great use for that nest above (especially in the country areas) was to break out chunks from the nest and light it to create 'a smoke guard' to ward off those pesky mosquitoes that wanted to suck every drop of blood from your body.  Post a comment!
