Not Your Ordinary Flora and Fauna

We went exploring down near Sun Moon Lake on Sabbath afternoon and found some rather unique stuff...


This is no optical illusion or Photoshop manipulation, this grasshopper really is as big as a cell phone. Crazy!

I think this is called a sensitive plant, but I'm not sure. Very cool.

This plant exist in Puerto Rico also. We call it "mori vivir". Anyways I don't know what it's called in English, if I translate its something like "dead & alive". Cool isn't it?
