They are all Hawkmoths, about 75% of this large family have that hummingbird characteristic flight pattern also one of the fastest in the moth kingdom. Hope I have been of help.

^^ No, not a pro, by no means... just a hunter/gatherer but i replaced the slingshot by a digital camera. I will post some more 'weirdos' later....
And about the English....uh... Ab alio spectes alteri quod feceris! :)

You don't want to touch this one; a very nasty sting.
Superb photos Gipsy, well done and thanks for sharing, my boy loves em
That yellow/orange tube one with the burgundy/black ends looks like some sort of leech, especially if you got it at a riverside.
Super pics as always Gipsy. :)
Awesome pix Gyps, I can see people using those bugs as jewelry..they are stunning..
I concur..found these beside a river in Muak LekQuote:

"the dogs doo dars.."??? All that comes to mind is a band, the Bonzo dog doo dah band, '60-something..., not sure what else.
Funny how also these red bugs show a face on their shield. And if you look at the close-up photo of slackula's camo-moth, the third one taken with flash, you could see a goat face with eras and horns sticking out.

https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...rasshopper.jpg
nice creepy crawlies
Just amazing pics. Outstanding!
Gipsy..:notworthy:
Thank you very 'big', na khrap.... Many I've never seen before, or they come and go before I can get hold of a camera. But some just don't move, even when you want them to... but at least they smile when being photographed.
Sorry there's not many names; I remember them by their color, by the plant they prefer to chew on and, occasionally, by the nasty words I shouted, when they bit me....
Superb shots!
I assume you use a DSLR, I am in the process of purchasing a Macro lens for my Nikon DSLR. Could you recommend one or tell which one you use?
Saw this one, probably obout 5 - 6 inches across, appear to have lost a leg somewhere
