To be more precise: Ophocrania sp., adult male.

Ophicrania sp. is confirmed by Bruno Kneubühler. But it might be another species than viridinervis. So, I suggest we go either with Ophicrania sp. or Ophocrania cf. viridinervis.

Let's see what our expert means...

Phasmatidae, Platycraninae, Platycranini, and Ophicrania viridinervis as closest guess.
