Graeffea crouani
Male Phasmid of the species, Graeffea crouani, also called Coconut Stick by the locals. Here, he is seen flashing his small red/pink wings in threat-display.
Found mainly on Cocounut Trees and also other palms and pandanus near to human habitat. This one was found in the parking lot of the Resort I was staying at inside Colo-i-Suva Forest Park.
Similar to this Spotting but in different colour form : http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/187...
