Thailand other wildlife

Moth trapping opportunities were pretty limited and even when I did manage to get the trap out in habitat it was surprisingly quiet. In fact it was pretty quiet on the butterfly front. Apparantely the peak time for leps is during the early rainy season in April time and it's pretty quiet this time of year- cooler and drier. Most of the moth trapping I did was on the balcony of the hotel rooms which was pretty limited.

Also had a few herps but overall it was really quiet on that front too with no snake sightings and just a few lizards and a few frogs calling which I-Nat has tentatively identified as Black-striped Frog.

I-Nat observations HERE. About 55 species of leps and 5 species of herp. A few tentative ids and photos below.
