hi

we get loads of these after the first rains in the pattaya area - especially in our school's early years leafy kiddies playground - the latin name has been thrown at me a few times and the Thai name has gone in one ear and out the other many times. They live behind the bark of a certain tree...

The kids aren't afraid of them - just pick em up and play with em like dolls and action men (unfortunately). None bitten so far. I do try to protect them by encouraging the little ones to respect these awesome critters....

The local labourers catch them for food - ground with spices to make some sort of chilli paste ...

First time I've come across one of these bugs, can anyone identify it?
