Trachythorax sp
A pair of mating Phasmids, the male (picture #3) is so small that its hard to make him out against the comparatively huge female. The famale was about 12cm from head to the tip of the abdomen. Grey cryptic colouration, with some darker markings on thorax; fore wings are reduced to small disks, while hind wings are long, covering the entirety of the abdomen.
Found in thick rainforest around Luang Prabang in Laos.
