Lobocraspis griseifusa

Reading fiction and watching TV serials ( not the Saas Bahu type), you pick up some strange nuggets of knowledge that amazes you and sometimes come real handy.... The heading of this post is the scientific name of a moth found in south east asia and this moth lives on just one thing....tears...Yes you heard it right..it drinks only tears for sustaining its life. Mostly it feeds of herbivorous mammals like Water Buffaloes. And do you know where i got this piece of information from?....." The Silence of the Lambs". Who said reading fiction has no value addition? Another useful tip that i got from a TV series named CSI is that grinning suppresses the gagging reflex. So if you are travelling and you feel like you are about to throw up, start grinning...it really works..I've tried it..Well thats something to start your day off after a nice weekend.
