Thailands Zoos and animals The forum to tell us about your visits to the tiger temples in Kanchanaburi or the tiger zoo in Sri Racha, crocodile farms in Pattaya & Bangkok, Thai elephant kraals in Ayutthaya & Phuket, Panda bears in Chiang Mai zoo. Thailand has many zoo's and wildlife sanctuaries and quite often you can get the oppurtunity to eat crocodile eggs, or emu steaks and many other exoctic dishes, so post the pictures and videos to share here.

Do we have an entomologist out there? What the heck is this?

The following pics I took with my crappy Nokia phone on a hike near the Mountains in CNX. I really wish I had a camera. Anyway I have yet to identify this bug.

It is about 5-6" long. It is some sort of beetle. The body is similar to that of a grasshopper without the large legs. It has six legs, long antennae, and what looks like a large stinging apparatus on it's back end. When approached it reared up its outer shell show the beautifully patterned blue and black wings. The outer body was a dark brown and yellow pattern as shown. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a pic with the wings folded.

So any ideas???? It really was a cool looking bug and they way it defended itself was amazing.
