Fauna in Koh Samui 2025
We are back again, wintering in the comfort of our Bang Por Villa in Koh Samui. Here are some of the fauna seen on this trip:
The Oleander Hawkmoth caterpillar, Daphnis Nerii, is a member of the Sphingidae family of moths and one of the most beautiful Hawkmoths in the world. Although a rare migrant to the British Isles, it has a wide global distribution, being recorded in much of southern Europe, Africa and Asia, either as a migrant or resident. It has a wingspan of 90-110 mm and, like many Hawkmoths, is a strong flier.
The Javanese Grasshopper, Valanga nigricornis, is a species of grasshopper in the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae of the family Acrididae. It is found in southeastern Asia, including Thailand.
