Sunday rolled around and the weather nice, so both Carly and I decided to head out to our favourite national park for a wander and a bit of wildlife spotting. As we drove into the park it became apparent that the butterfly season was well and truly underway. Every puddle seemed to be edged by …

A Wild Weekend
What a weekend, and where to begin? I guess I should begin on Friday which seemed to be the perfect lead in to a great weekend of wildlife. I took my students on a nature walk around school in which we were surprised by a very patient Lime butterfly which perched on a branch long …
Wildlife in Action
Its been a while since I've posted anything but I haven't been stagnant. In fact I've been busy collecting material for my photo galleries page which is severely lacking in content at this time. So far I've managed to compile a damselfly gallery, a lizard gallery and an amphibians gallery which you can see here Photo Galleries. …
New House New Wildlife – Part 2
Since moving to the new house I've spent at least part of every evening walking around the garden or the neighborhood looking for wildlife and so far I haven't been disappointed. The heavy rain has brought lots of wildlife to our garden and one of the most exciting visitors we've had so far was an South-East Asian …
New House New Wildlife
Last weekend we packed up all our things and moved to a new house out of the town and nearer to beach (1 minute away). The house is slowly starting to feel like home and all of our things are unpacked. Time for some exploring and wildlife spotting! These seems to be a lot of dragonflies …
Tiger Beetles

Ever since I first spotted some by a river earlier this month I've been seeing them everywhere! They're …

Its been a while since my post about caterpillars and there have been many posts since then and my blog has changed and evolved. It seems only fitting that now I do the same for my post about caterpillars and show them in their metamorphosed forms as the winged beauties they really are. This post …
Gotcha
After my post in April on the Stream Glory (Neurobasis chinensis) Stream Glory (Neurobasis chinensis chinensis) I have been determined to get a photo of their amazing green wings. This holiday I finally managed to get a shot of one showing its amazing emerald wings. After watching the damselfly flutter up and down the stream for a while I identified a rock where …
A Wild River
So, we're officially on holiday here in Thailand and we don't have to be back at work until next month. This gives us a great opportunity to explore some of the cool, wild places near us. One of these places, Khao Sok National Park blew me away with just how much wildlife there was to see. …
Stream Glory (Neurobasis chinensis chinensis)
Sometimes there's nothing better than just walking along the banks of a small stream and watching the dragonflies,damselflies flutter along above it. On this particular occasion whilst walking along one of the streams in Sri Phang-nga National Park i was lucky enough to see the aptly named stream glory damselfly. I was slowly walking along, when suddenly …
