It was a treefrog's urine, and I didn't mean anyone would drink it. Frogs often urinate when you pick them up, it comes out pretty fast, and it's possible that it could get in your eye, thus presumably blinding you. A quick search reveals that the urine contains uric acid, which may possibly sting but probably won't do permanent damage.why on earth would anyone want to drink toad's urine?

Nothing quite as exotic as in Cambodia but here's a couple from my garden in the UK this spring/summer:
Spider catching its breakfast, a small bee.
A couple of moths that have flown in recently:
Some tiny (5mm length max) bees. Unsure exact family but I think they're either halictidae or lassioglossum.
A scarlet lily beetle
A wasp

Are you trying to post an image off the internet or your computer?
Basically, if you're trying to post an image from the net: Right click the image-go to properties-copy the URL-go to post reply on 440-paste the URL-highlight it-press "IMG" button.
From your computer: Go to a file sharing site such as http://tinypic.com/-select size of image, choose the "For forums and messsage boards" option-upload whatever image from your comp you want-copy the "Forum code" and paste to your K440 reply box.

If you're going to be posting lots of your own pictures it's worth looking at Dropbox.
http://www.dropbox.com/
This program allows you to drag and drop a photo to a folder on your computer. While you're online, the folder is linked 24/7 to their servers and will automatically upload anything you put into it, (it's also a file-sync service between your separate computers). Just right-click on the image in that folder and it'll give you a link to share. Copy/paste that link into a 440 post, then as above instructions.

It's more time consuming to set Dropbox up than to go to imageshack.us or the like just for the odd photo, but once you've got Dropbox installed, sharing multiple images / files is a breeze.paste the URL - highlight it - press "IMG" button.
Rasolnikov - good pictures.
Best moth pictures I have are of this beauty - Attacus atlas - in Phuket, 2008.

Heres a moth of about the same size in Phnom Penh - Lyssa zampa docile - , but again - not too sharp with the focus.

I've seen these Giant Atlas Moths in Phnom Penh, they are maybe the biggest in the world.
Not in Cambodia, but here's a lovely vulture I came across hanging out on a pile of guts in the Ganja river.
And an incredibly cute picture I took in Brittany. I was so bored living in the middle of nowhere that I took up animal arranging as a pastime.

Nice link to the ThaiBugs site Chuangt2u, but I can't see any images you posted on this page , just blank spaces not even a box with a red X.

Yeah, I can see them now-must have been the gremlins. I've seen a couple of those Atlas moths in Thailand but didnt know what they were until now. They look like bloody bats in half light!Chuangt2u wrote:The images in my posts on this page are mine - I linked up to Thaibugs for ID.
Just checked the link - works here.
