Popular Post Mousehound Posted June 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not sure what this is but saw him on the door at the office. Quite a large fellow around 10cm long. This looks like a Hawk Moth in the Sphingoddoidea superfamily. Could be a subspecies of Gnathothlibus erotus? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Goompa Posted June 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Nah mate , just peeved at me taking shots in it's environment . Second thoughts .... could be protecting the young -uns , I don't know if spiders are that way inclined though , but I managed to get a shot of the same species in an infantile stage as well , same zone . The small guy is about 1.5mm across , this larger one I am guessing to be about 5mm , still a small spider though.

I did think about putting something in shot to show the scale,but thought again,no way I was putting my hand anywhere near that monster! Type of Huntsman - if so then they are pretty harmless - they can bite but only in desperation I just gathered this off Wiki. Just thought I'd post incase someone gets too friendly with one. Venom and aggression[edit] Like most spiders apart from the Uloboridae and some Liphistiidae and Holarchaeidae,[6] Sparassidae use venom to immobilise prey and to assist in digestion. They have been known to inflict defensive bites, but are not widely regarded as dangerous to healthy humans.[7] Huntsman spiders are widely considered beneficial because they feed on insect pests such as cockroaches. There have been reports of members of various genera such as Palystes,[8]Neosparassus (formerly called Olios) and several others, inflicting bites. The effects vary, including local swelling and pain, sometimes with nausea, headache, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and heart palpitations, indicating some systemic neurological effects, especially when the bites were severe or repeated. However, the formal study of spider bites is fraught with complications, including unpredictable infections, dry bites, shock, and nocebo effects. An investigation into spider bites in Australia, in which Sparassidae figured prominently, did not note any severe or unusual symptoms resulting from confirmed bites from some of the most notorious genera, particularly Neosparassus. It is not always clear what provokes Sparassidae to bite people, but it is known that female members of this family will aggressively defend their egg sacs and young against perceived threats. The rarity of bites on various body parts suggests that most are accidental or incidental, resulting from inadvertent handling.[2] Bites from Sparassids usually do not require hospital treatment. In particular no necrosis was reported in the works cited here. Edited July 1, 2015 by rhythmworx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine51 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Jack... By looking at the snout it may be a tree shrew. They resemble squirrels quite a lot save for that elongated snout. We have many tree shrews around the house & some are quite tame...except when the dogs see em. Hope this may help in an ID. Nice shot too. Here's a link for the common tree shrew found out here...the same as we have around. http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/mammals/common_treeshrew.htm Another link...the third pic down from the top... http://marybirds.blogspot.com/2012/06/thailand-3-nick-upton-kaeng-krachen.html Edited July 16, 2015 by sunshine51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Grey-bellied squirrel. Shrews as you mentioned have long snouts and generally uglier. Incidentally, this is the blind I visited and I highly recommend anyone who wants to get close to some great birds and mammals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
