Bugs In The Laotian Countryside
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.
The 1st two green bugs are praying mantis and the 3rd “not sure” is a cricket. That’s all I know. Haha.
Same here 🙂
