Mt they are wood lice, swarm this time of year just after the rains, don't make anoise and Thais don't eat them.

I think Hep she may be describing the Tacatan, fat little fecker that comes out after rain amkes a real big noise and they pull the wings off and munch them live. Never eaten one myself yet but been tempted cos thay make real big noise, sometimes so shrill its almost electrical, they do it with the back part of their body.

I've caught them before and tried to make a tune with their fat little heads looking up in suprise.
