First collected in Chumpon in 2007. It is spreading southward through Malaysia. It was thought that the wild Thai population was from escaped animals from the Phuket Butterfly gardens however barcode investigation reveals a different subspecies D. iulia Hispaniola from Costa Rica. These are commonly exported around the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This caterpillar has been living on a tree next to my home for the past 2 weeks. When I see it, it has moved few meters up or down. Sometimes it's not there, but the next day it returns to the same place on a tree trunk. I suppose it travels up to the tree to have a night time dinner. It's maybe 12cm long. Any idea what this could be and become? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks. It could be that family. I underestimated the length. It's actually 18cm long. I took a photo as it was still on the tree. However trying to mingle the measuring tape to 2.5 from my balcony was a bit challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron19 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 It is always sad when a thread is closed but the fact remains two threads we're going asking for the same thing. The nature thread had been going for 3 years longer so it was decided too go with that one.Sent from my iris 755 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Me2501 has some wonderful photos, keep them coming! Btw. What if the Creepy crawlers etc closed topics would be listed under 'Previously pinned topics' while it could be renamed 'Previously pinned and closed topics' ? Then my main question. Thaivisa newsletter mentioned a 'Wildlife photography tips' topic, but the link directed to a error page. The topic sounded good and I wonder if it's somewhere? I didn't find it using search. Mandatory nature photography (this is actually from Penang national park, Malaysia, but don't tell anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JetsetBkk Posted September 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2016 Help!! Bug eggs on my Desert Rose. Just waiting for the flower to open... This is what the flowers should look like... Here are a couple of eggs I pulled off the flower: They are on tissue paper which I marked with a pen so I could find them, and put a nail file on it to stop it moving. Here's an egg close-up, closer-up: Can anyone recommend an insecticide to keep these things off? I don't want to check every flower and leaf every day to keep it clear, but will if necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
