Les, it's not just an unusual-looking stick insect, it's a praying mantis...
I'm sorry viv, but this is not a beetle! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celyphidae
Take a third look at your spider, maybe it's like my one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/325...
I think it's a cicada's old exoskeleton.
It was just few millimeters long, and I can't imagine which role could it have in the colony neither
Hi Ivan! I spotted something similar, if you get an ID for this little larva, could you please give me the suggestion? thanks, great spotting anyway! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/331...
Please Malcom move this spotting to the "arthropod" section, 'cause spider are arthropods, aren't they?
Thanks Ana for the genus identification... accordin to his distribution i'll opt to name it Stenopterus rufus rufus
There are a lot of subspecies, maybe someone else can identify it more precisely.
