villagefarang Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Harold is very photogenic. We have many and I found a smaller one today hiding in one of my running shoe that I leave on the rack outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy1969 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 @ Mousehound.......Thanks for making me wiser Tokay Harold sounds a lot more dignified @ villagefalang.....Handsome brute isn't he,unfortunately Mrs Shaggy doesn't have quite the same opinion as me though. After taking one short glimpse of my new friend she ran out of the kitchen screaming I don't like that.....make it go away at rather a high pitch I stumbled across this little chap whilst out foraging for mushrooms in the mountain. I think I must of touched it with my foraging cane and that is why it went into it's defensive ball. Also funny to see the two hitchhikers he was carrying as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack2964 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks Anguid your shots are awesome. Did you sit the camera on the ground for that one at post #587? Great DoF! These little guys have no fear. I can lightly touch them before they take flight. Gotta go get me a butterfly book for Thailand now. Any you recommend? Over the last 2 months or so, there were thousands of butterflies of all kinds around my fishing spots but seem to be tapering off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great book, it's in English, just printed the new edition. You can find at Asia books, good choice bookshops or you can order directly from the author Khun Pisuth: http://www.malaeng.com/blog/?p=14857h 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This black butterfly would land on a long stem of grass, run along to the other end then fly off. I have never seen a butterfly do that before, when the alight they don't usually move till they fly off. There were several of these in the one place, don't recall seeing them anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
