Found dead in a friends pool in the morning. She sent it to me to try and get an ID.
thanks Leana. Wish I had seen it, but it was sent to me by a friend to try and ID!. The amazing PN team had it ID'd in the blink of an eye, and stho002 supplied a great link also.
thanks Juan. Thought it might be a stick insect, but I've never seen one with its wings open.
