seesip Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 They usually play with the local bugs and beetles. This one they're keeping clear of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Don't know what it is but by the looks of the thorns on it would not be nice on the nose/tongue, even if not a poison danger, so suspect the dogs have it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 looks like one I saw on TV. If annoyed, it tips up its tail and squirts a foul mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Seen several around lately. Looks like a type of wood beetle but can't find a match up yet on Google images. //edit - this shows a Longhorn Beetle with the same antennae structure - http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2008/08/17/longhorn-beetle-from-thailand-aristobia-approximator/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The house longhorn beetle, I agree, these are the ones that come from the giant white witchity grubs (i think) as i had dozens in my compost pile a few month ago. notorious wood eaters, they are on my hit list, living in a tree house myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BillyBobThai Posted May 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2014 For gods sake, don't kill it or half of the people on here, who are do gooders, will git upset. You are going unbalance the ecology of the area. Just move it to an open field somewhere. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yann55 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) looks like one I saw on TV. If annoyed, it tips up its tail and squirts a foul mixture. Yep, it's a skunkbug (Lat. Creepus Stinkus) and when it's drunk it's even more foul, especially in the mouth. Lots of those in Pattaya. Edited May 18, 2014 by Yann55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am a tree hugger that likes to record everything that grows, flies or crawls on this earth. We would make a great team. You shoot it, wraastle it and carve it up: and I'll measure and photograph it. We might get a job with a museum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredge45 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Adult Stem Borer beetle. Lay their eggs on the end og twigs, larvae bore into the twig and then eat their way inside of the plant stem. Best I can find out the pupal stage is spent insdie of the stem and then the adult cuts a larger hole and leaves the stem. Kills the stem/branch. Only time an insecticide can get them is when the adult is outside.the plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Benmart Posted May 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2014 looks like one I saw on TV. If annoyed, it tips up its tail and squirts a foul mixture. Yep, it's a skunkbug (Lat. Creepus Stinkus) and when it's drunk it's even more foul, especially in the mouth. Lots of those in Pattaya. I respectfully disagree. It appears to be a common Bore Beetle of the Know-it-all Family. This pest makes it home in electronic devices that are connected to social networks. It's bite causes the victim to know everything about all things and to be able to see into the future, solve crimes and pass judgement without any facts. The only known cure is a complete removal of access to electronic devices other than a coffee maker, microwave or toaster. It is found world-wide, but primarily in climates with a high percentage of alcohol and uncivil populations. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
