Lantern bugs from Thailand

Post by orionmystery »

All from Krabi, Thailand. Was there for a 4D/3N trip. Disappointing bug haul though.

Prolepta sp., shot at night. Very skittish

Tried photographing it with a 150mm + 1.4x extender the following day. Still very skittish and the light was really harsh.
