Holopterna alata
2 Twig Wilters standing opposite each other on a Hydrangea leaf. One of the first instars I believe. An adult was lingering close by.
Found in garden at night.

Indeed RiekoS! These "babies" are super interesting!
Very interesting bugs.
Aww, I was so happy ;) in your defense, it does look like some kind of hunting strategy! :)
That was a tongue in the cheek comment from me Dez! Sorry...
Wow! I did not know that! Yay! Now I feel bad that I bothered them.... mmmm
That is not opposite sides of the leaf, it is co-ordinate hunting!
