    The Scary Monster Insect

    By admin | Juni 26, 2010


    During a morning walk in our tropical garden
    in Chiang Mai, North Thailand, I discovered that
    scary monster insect sitting on a branch of one of the trees.
    The insect looked frightful and I called our Thai photographer Nat
    to try to get a few macro shots of that monster.
    The scary monster made no move to escape,
    which made us a bit wary.
    Nat told me to be careful, it´s a “Malaeng Men”,
    a stink bug, which sprays a abominably stinking liquid to aggressors.
    Later on, we figured out, that it was more illusion than reality.
    The scary monster insect was just an empty hull of a cicada grub.
