Scientists and other experts say that there are still so many living organisms & creatures out there, especially deep in the ocean that we haven’t seen, all pretty much unknown to men. Each time when I watch Discovery Channel Europe -their programs never cease to amaze me. Some people say that television only brings violence and bad news…well I have to make an exemption for this wonderful program.
BUT it isn’t only in the deep water that we find ‘unknown’ creatures.
I found one in our backyard. Unknown, well at least to me, as I’ve never seen a purple colored caterpillar (or is it?) before.
its purple back….
and its grayish front…if you click this 2nd image, you might see it ’smiling’ at you!
I found him while walking along the beach in HuaHin, Thailand. We were in Thailand last October for a total of 2 weeks, which 10 days were spent in HuaHin.
HuaHin is located 193 kilometers from Bangkok, to the south. Where I have worked and lived for few years in 90’s.
Though there are the most popular tourists destination in Thailand such as Phuket, Koh Samui, Pattaya, or ChangMai, HuaHin has been , always been, the favorite vacation destination of my husband and I. It isn’t as busy (packed with tourists) as the other popular cities, which is why we love to come back there each chance that we get.
I have grown attached to the beach in HuaHin where hundreds of afternoon were spent enjoying the water, the scenery, catching crabs ( yes, my favorite past time!) and gathering mussels from the big rocks, which later on we’d cook. Ah nothing beats fresh seafoods.
If you haven’t been to this part of Thailand, check it out next time…you might like it too!
