Thank you, @triggsturner and @Maria dB for your kind words and appreciation :)
Wonderful set of photos showing the insect with closed and open wings!
Nice one Albert. Love it!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thanks, @DrNamgyal, whether its an Umbrella or Fan, she is gorgeous :)
Yes, @Mark, one crazy gorgeous Phasmid indeed :D
That's one crazy phasmid.
Wow, Albert! It's name should be Yellow (Japanese) Fan Stick Insect! Great timing!
Thanks, @Roy Arun
Yes @Chun, should be similar to the pic you showed me previously.
Same as the one I found in Tawau?
Stunning Shot...
Thank you, @ornithoptera80 :)
