A Bug’s Life in Chiang Mai

I’m celebrating 4 years of blogging about Thailand, and life overseas in general by compiling the best of the bug shots I’ve taken. Most were taken when I lived in the bamboo sticks, and I have to admit, I’m missing the cats and the craziness a little. But just a little. My city view apartment is so lovely and the envy of many.

I miss seeing the amazing bugs. They are harder to find around town but the green spider I found on me while eating a quick lunch at Wat Pan On. If you want to see a slide show, just click on the first guy and then it will automatically load. Enjoy! And if you know what these bugs are let me know!!!

      Thanks dear! I wouldn’t say I love bugs, but I like noticing little things…does that make sense?

    Those woolly caterpillars look out-of-this-world. Pretty sneaky of you to slip in that picture of the centipede [it almost startled me]. Very nice photo spread!
