Speedo1968 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have visited this country every few weeks for 6 years, worked here for 10 more and lived here for a further 10 years. My work is in farming and I would travel to different areas many times atone location for a few days. I am hands-on so looked in every nook and crannie at each location. I spotted this creature just outside the front of my bungalow, on a cemented area, I rushed back inside for the phone ( camera ) but by the time I got back outside it had disappeared. The insect was a creamy grey colour, about 3cm long 1 and half cm wide, not even half a cm high. Its whole body moved in fine undulating waves like ripples on a pond. I have never ever seen an insect like this in any country I have worked in / visited. Sorry for the poor description but any ideas what this insect may be ?

Popular Post USEpat Posted October 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sounds a lot like the Asian Creamy Gray Undulating Rippler. Harmless unless you're not native to the area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oracle Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sure it wasn't a leech? (Or "pleeng" in Thai) ปลิง They can be small, flat and grey. Or enormous and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
