Porch Pests: Cycad Blue Butterfly

Cycad Blue Butterfly Larva

Are you familiar with Cycads? I'm sure you've probably seen them, and think they are palm trees. Cycads have hard and pointy leaves growing out of a crown. Catholics in West Malaysia often use Cycad leaves during Palm Sunday (ironic because they aren't palms) to commemorate Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. The couple of Cycads in my garden had always been doing well until recently. Fresh shoots from the crown all fell prey to little caterpillars, which turns out to be larvae of the Cycad Blue Butterfly. Before the shoots have enough time to harden, the voracious little critters would have munched on them all. I tried neem, physically picking them off, but there was just too many of them. So annoying! Any ideas to get rid of this infestation?

Coat West Star II: Sho

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame. SHO Name: sho Name：Sho（翔） Height：180cm Weight：70kg Age：21 (during Sho Only Shining Star) Birth date：Unknown (1985) There is no girlfriend: Now there are ... ... (sho is very shy yo ~) Girlfriend?：Yes Dated for：Half a year Type of girl he fancies：Petite～ Makes people have an urge to protect them, cute when running (in small steps) Wants his girlfriend to call him：Sho-kun（翔君） (I can do that!) First love：Elementary year 4, with a girl from the next class First H：Freshman Type of H he likes：Both parties desire it First “solo” experience：Elementary years Number of times a week：Doesn’t do it very o

Kensei

Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h

Osamu or Naoya?

There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!
