A small green colored flying insect. Size less than 1 cm (0.8mm). Flight resembles that of a slow flying butterfly. When sitting, resembles a leaf (as photographed.)
Forest at Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary (PWLS). Was sitting on the forest floor in the forest litter.
As I didn't have a macro lens, the details are a bit blurry. But The wings have a texture. Look closely to appreciate those spots seen here (not so clearly).
