Thanks AshishNimkar for the ID to group. As this is in New Guinea I am not yet sure down to genus. Thanks alicelongmartin for the feedback.

It looked quite different from this leaf-footed bug http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/693... so I thought it might be something else albeit related...

I was thinking Leaf-footed bug, but after a second look, I am not sure. (not the right shape)
