Eumantispa sp
amazing insect that fits its common name perfectly, looks like part large fly and part preying mantis
tropical rainforest
I was so happy to see this mantisfly near the washrooms in Tawau hills park. I had only seen one other in Java, but only got one not so good photo of it before it flew off. This felt like a second chance. This one was on the ceiling so was difficult to get a very close shot. I stood on a chair and zoomed in as close as I could.

Thanks Chun, I would guess that to be right.
Eumantispa species I guess.
Thanks Chun and Leuba.
Nice one, Dan !
Your photo turns out good though.
My photo of it really is terrible but I am still going to upload it :-)
