If you can tell us what they are, you won't be getting a prize. In fact, they're not condoms but admittedly bear a troubling resemblance. These 'balloons' contain the only known poison against the Red Palm Weevil. They are drilled into the palm tree, which slowly absorbs the liquid - but it is not always successful and depends largely on timing: the earlier the weevil is detected and the sooner the poison is administered, the better the chance of the palm's survival. We got this picture in Jimena. (See related item on Gibraltar infestation below.)
