Yes, it did moved, @Chun but still within the same leaf :D
The eyes are not looking directly at you yet so it seems that It had not noticed you. Maybe it was daydreaming? :p
In the second photo, it sure looks like it has moved underneath the leaf.
Thanks, @Chun.
This one was quite obliging, it hardly moves as I take pics of him :D
Hi AlbertKang, this species was relocated to another name - Parabathippus petrae in 2012. You will see that they are very common on leaves. When sighted, they will quickly hide underneath the leaves. You have spotted the male, the females are smaller and yellow in color.
