Butterflies! We saw so many ranging in size... |
...and ranging in colour! |
Butterflies need salt, which is why they are often stopped on pathways, bags, and people's clothes - they love sweat! |
The ants were up to 2.5cm in size. |
Lantern Bug - named as such because they look like one. |
This was a weird beetle. |
Huge antennas |
Another one we almost put our hands on. |
This stick insect was about 20cm long |
Another huge brown one. |
An even bigger one. |
This stick insect was insane! It was like a fat, brown, spiky log around 30cm long. |
Next up are grasshoppers. |
Lots of legs... |
...and colours! |
Cave Centipede - it's sting is as deadly as a pit viper's bite. |
These furry caterpillars sting you if you touch them. |
The sting can cause discomfort and a rash. |
Some can put you in hospital. |
Cave spider... and let the nightmares begin! |
Katie almost trod on this bad boy. |
Symmetrical Water Spider |
They keep getting bigger... |
...and scarier! |
This spider had a 20cm leg span and a 10cm body! |
And just to ease the fear a bit, here is a lovely butterfly we saw on the night walk - very beautiful! |
