Neoclides sp
To mark my 1 year anniversary at Project Noah, I choose this special Phasmid as my Spotting Number 2014, in the Year 2014 :) This is a special find for me during a Night Walk in Bako National Park. When I first spotted her, she was on a dead branch and leafs, very well camouflaged. Upon closer inspection, I believe it was a Phasmid from the genus Neoclides. This Female, around 8 cm, has full wings and shorter front legs with wider femur of the forelegs. Mostly black to dark brown in color, she has granulated features on her head and thorax.
