‘Forever blowing bubbles: Spotted this fly on the tablecloth at lunchtime. It appeared to be blowing bubbles then sucking them back in again. I have since tried to find out why they do this - the most convincing theory seems to be that they are regurgitating stomach contents and using air to aid digestion.’

‘A medium sized Monitor Lizard that lives around my house: Relatively common around Bangkok, this Water Monitor lives under and around my house in the Prakanong District.

‘Elephant Hawk-moth caterpillar: This one was spotted yesterday making a beeline across the lawn towards a group of fuschia plants where it’ll stay throughout the winter. As I approached, it reared up into its defensive “snake” pose, allowing me to take this picture.’
