We had a long weekend for the beginning of Buddhist lent, aka three months when monks stay at the temple they're in and out of the rainy season. To celebrate, I took a trip up to see the science teacher I replaced, the snakes he researches, and hang out with some graduate students doing research at an ecotourism reserve. The place was great and I had a really fun time in the field doing some nerd talk with biologists. We took a group photo with a camera trap, used radiotelemeters to find hidden birds, took a night hike in search of herps, and played language centered drinking games ("never have I ever" becomes "I have never" with esl students and I prefer the wording myself). If anyone knows what kind of bug this is, let me know. I argued with the Thai student who told me it was Ephemoptera, and I've determined that it may be Neuroptera, all I know is that I've never seen a dragonfly with antennae that big, but its otherwise a very good mimic of a predatory insect.
