Alishan (continued) THE MOTH PHENOMENON!

OK, this is seriously unbelievable - even after reading what I have to say and looking at these pictures will you believe it to be true - I still don't believe it.... There is a temple at the top of Ali Mtn. Once a year (which happens to be the God's birthdays), giant silk moths fly into the temple (there were 22 this year) and perch on the God's beards. They stay there for a week or two and then leave. The phenomenon only happens at this particular temple and something I found strange was that even though the main god (not pictured) had a smaller beard, it had many more moths. I was able to get close enough to see that they were real! I was frantically asking my students (2 adults that i teach) for a logical explanation. Nobody knew for sure.... What do you think? Do moths migrate to the same place every year? This is a mind boggling occurrence and I recommend not thinking about it too much.....too late for me though.
