man, No Macrothele gigas found in the costal area in Kenting?
the "Bamboo Viper" is very common there, i've seen over a dozen near the water in frog mating season, i am sure u'll find more later
post the pics of the centipede u find

 

[Ganoderma]

nope, didnt even see any webs.... we were all over teh national park spent a lot of time at shedding park and nothing more orb weavers than i can count though..... we were following ox trails and found some cool stuff. no live snakes though....jsut a couple lizards.

one of these days i am going back out to where i though i may find some funnel webs.....life jsut keeps taking time. i'll post pics of the pede and some cool forest roaches i found tonight.

WATCH FOR THE OX!
pede u can find in Kenting is the black head Sc.sub. mutilans, but the TW paper classified it as Sc.sub. subspinipes, quite neat species with last pair of legs striped

quite big bugger, 6-7" mostly

are they commonly found in/around cow dung? its mostly dried so would breaking it apart be a good way of finding them? thanks for the info! great pic!

well they are mostly found on trees or grounds after rain
unfortunately, sometimes they track down bugs which are attracted to the ox doung
