Sign In to followThanks ForestDragon! I'm sure you know more about them then I do, so I'll switch it over to a Chinese Mantid. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a nymph though as it was over 3 inches.
I'm not sure ChunXingWong.... I used sources like this one....http://travel.mongabay.com/malaysia/images/borneo_3584.html... as the inverts of Borneo aren't really well documented.
Awesome find! Fantastic!
Really fantastic photo!
Congrats on the student leader part - a dream job! haha Awful luck with getting sick though!
Definitely Bornean Pygmy Elephants. These are wild, but a couple were collared by Dr. Benoit Goossens who is studying them.
Good times Lenny! I miss Borneo!
Brinez - these are being studied by Dr. Benoit Goossens. They are in fact E. m. boreensis.
Only 2 total. I believe the one in the photos was pretty close to adulthood as it almost stretched across my hand - body length of about 5 inches.
