Wildlife & National Parks of Thailand

Funny that not only I - with a particular interest in snakes - am hoping for these cool, dry months to pass quickly. Apparently it's the same for the insect enthusiasts.
It's not impossible to find stuff this season, but it is just more abundant/ active when it gets warmer and more humid.
I know of a couple of Vogel's Pit Vipers that have been hangin at the same spot for a month now.
And from my experience from previous years, I wouldn't be surprised if they're still there a month from now. But I can't wait till they all start crawling again...

Seems like you got some luck as well on your KK trip. That's certainly a pretty butterfly, and so is the tiny moth with it's hairy hind legs. Nice shots.

About the foot print... I'm afraid I can't tell you the answer either.
2 inches width is quite large. Maybe a porcupine...? Were there more tracks around, did some have longer feet?

I agree, looks like a partial fore-print of a porcupine. I assume its close to Baan Krang? Our cam trapping in that area has revealed both Asiatic Porcupine and Brush Tailed Porcupine are quite common there. Asiatic especially.

The Sesiidae is spectacular!

Les,

Here is my little mystery I mentioned, I think some type of planthopper. About 15 mm long, found on the side of a tree at waist level, grouped with 8 others, when approached they showed their ability to hop! Displayed all the movement characteristic of a planthopper, including "poor" flight ability.

Quality is bad as its a screen grab from a poorly lit bit of video.




PS Looks as if the weather is starting to change up here now, its getting more humid everyday now, winter is over and we could have small showers soon. Butterflies should be big time at KK again if they have had a shower, but I am not going to get over there for a few weeks as I have family over.
