Lygaeidae not Pyrrhocoridae. It is a Seed Bug. Graptostethus sp. and most probably Graptostethus servus, reported from India and Australia so almost certain also in Thailand. Also very variable! Please, verify! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graptostethus_servus.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graptostethus.jpg http://thebeatsheet.com.au/cotton/getting-pale-cotton-stainer-identification-right/ Refering link, right bug but wrong ID! http://www.cottoncrc.org.au/industry/Publications/Pests_and_Beneficials/Cotton_Insect_Pest_and_Beneficial_Guide/Pests_by_common_name/Seed_eating_bug
