Bugs of Laos



BUGS!!!
 (that is all the introduction these guys need.)
This preying mantis is the most dangerous leaf you'll ever meet. That is, if you're about an inch tall. 
Pretty little creature. I don't know what it is.





More leaves! I think this is a hawk moth of some sort.

Red and black + stylish pom poms = perfect little beetle.

Another leaf, this time six inches long and in katydid form.


Katydids love the hospital. See the resemblance with the previous picture? 
May the best beetle catch the golden snitch! or dragonfly. or whatever it is.
(actually, my dad says that those are antennas.)
We get tons of cool moths, often enormous.
incredible luna moth! around 7 inches wide and 5 inches long. Bigger than my hand!
