What are these bugs?

Diagro · 29 Jul 2019 at 15:48

So... I'm sitting here, in Thailand. (Woop)

My wife found some bugs, which seem to be guarding a line of eggs.

I cannot find what these are online.

Can someone help identify these? Trying to pass the time at 9:47pm, Chang in hand.

Fire ants. They can’t be killed by fire.

Escape whilst you still can.

Can you take a clearer picture?

First glance I don't think they're ants but I can't see their body parts

No ******* idea, it's an unidentified bug on the thai bugs site reverse image search showed no luck.

50/50 chance it will kill you, only one way to find out!

Odd. It looks like a mix up between an assassin bug and a cricket

Nasher · 29 Jul 2019 at 17:02

I hear they are good eatin'

Diagro · 29 Jul 2019 at 17:14

They are full on guarding the eggs

It's a Pixelbug, this is it's youngest form, there is no English word for it. The Thai word is pronounced "wan-for-tee-for-pee". When it reaches a few weeks old it will moult and take its new form, pronounced "too-fawty-pee". It will eventually outgrow that too, and a few other stages, until it reaches full maturity, pronounced "ten-eit-eee-pee" at which point it will seek a mate. Females tend to start life at "tree-sisty-pee" and will reach maturity at "seddem-tenny-pee" when they will be courted by the male. They will mate, reproduce and the circle of life will start all over.

They are widely regarded as harmless, and tend to only eat bandwidth. Hope this helps.
