I am not a big fan of bugs.
I have gotten much better as a result of this trip, but maybe some fears only lesson and never go away. When I was in the El Salvadoran countryside I asked a little girl if she was afraid of spiders.
Her reply.. “No, why would I be?”
I can think of lots of reasons, but when you grow up surrounded by them you get used to it. No need to be afraid.
I included a gecko in the collection as I have the utmost respect for the work they do now! Spiders as well, but they still freak me out a bit – especially the gigantic one I found here.
Well, here is a collection of some of the “wildlife” I encountered in the Laotian countryside. Surprisingly, no cockroaches.

Those are some great shots Adam! It’s not easy to capture those fast moving creatures
Thanks! The caterpillar on my computer was my favorite though
oh no! no! no! I’m going there next year and bugs are the only thing I’m worried about. I think I will wrap myself in a mosquito net!
Don’t worry. This was in the countryside. In the city you won’t find too many bugs
I’m actually going to be in the countryside for a bit. Need to work on my phobia then – me thinks…
I worked on mine in Central America. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
True, Adam!
My sister asked me to ask you if any of these things above is poisonous – the phobia runs in the family
As far as I know, no.
