Apatelodes torrefacta
My sister in law took this picture , she said it was small and look like a demon ;) , does any one knows what kind of insect is it.
I think we can't call this one for sure Apatelodes torrefacta. Apatelodes looks not bad, but I would not dare to go down to species level just from this picture.

I would go with Apatelodes sp.
Wow, this angle is awesome, I thought it was some kind of toy dragon / Pokemon !
It's hard to tell for sure from this interesting angle, but I think it is the only possibility. :-)
The legs look slightly different for different species. The abdomen is the dragon-like head, and the "wings" are sphinx moth wings.
no i swear its real , unfortunately its the only picture she took and its with her phone , i dont think its a sphinx moth , i just saw a bunch of pictures and the legs look very different .
