I spent last week in the subtropical climate along the Pho Chu river near Punakha, camping at a field site. Elevation 1250m (about 4,100ft). Cactus mix with palm trees, and the forest is full of butterflies, dragonflies, and insects I have never seen before. This is the first of several posts about my time there. First up: insects. Any help on IDing these would be appreciated!
This guy was easily 2 inches long.
This one just shy of one inch long:
Notice the super long antennae on this guy and a red stripe on its back:
I achieved a certain peace with spiders for the first time in my life on this trip. Really, I had no choice. This was a particularly beautiful one with red, yellow, white and black.
This one blends in really well with the grass:
