As most of you are aware, I love finding snakes, and they have been the focus of almost all of my recent posts. So for this post I decided I'd choose some different subjects for those of you who are sick of seeing pictures of snakes or those of you who are ophidiophobic (fear snakes). …
After a friend posted a picture of a cool caterpillar on my facebook page this week (Wild Thailand) I was inspired to showcase some of the cool caterpillars that I've found so far. So here are a few of the cool caterpillars I've found in Thailand to date. Lime Butterfly (Papilio Demoleus) Caterpillars They are truly bizarre, caterpillars which disguise themselves …
When most people think of moths they think of them as drab and boring relatives of butterflies that fly around at night. I have to say I was guilty of this mindset myself until very recently when I began to discover the amazing diversity of moths in Thailand. Before I start, i'd like to differentiate them …
Most of my posts as of late have been focused on butterflies, but in my defense they are the animal that is out the most/the ones we see the most at the moment. This doesn't mean that we're not on the look out for other animals and we've been lucky these past couple of weekends …

A while back I wrote that I was aiming to have seen and documented 100 butterflies before Christmas, a goal which I'd thought was almost out of reach. Butterfly season has well and truly begun here and I've seen a new species almost every time I've been out. This meant that I reached the hundred species mark …
Another sunny weekend and another national park to explore. This time we headed to Ton Prai Waterfall a little further afield than we usually go but well worth the trip.The park was beautiful and has definitely taken a spot in my top 5 favourites here in Phang-nga province. We hadn't even entered the car park …
The rainy season here has brought the whole province to life, rivers are once again full, the forests are green and thick, butterflies and other insects are out in force. One thing that is often overlooked though is the fungi. The rain has provided lots of nice shady damp places for a multitude of fungi to pop …
I was at home sick from work one day resting in the bedroom when I was disturbed by our dog, Bones barking incessantly at something from inside the house. Probably a cat that had ventured into our garden again, I thought. I rolled over in bed and did my best angry dog owner voice to get …
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 …
