Lovely, I had a picture of this flower from Malawi and didn't know what it was.
I think it is some sort of armoured ground cricket similar to this one. http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_new...
Read about their defense mechanisms, glad I didn't try to pick it up.
These are pretty big too. At least 3 or 4 inches long.
I've been researching, can't find anything matching my picture so far. I think that Geometridae Oospila sp. is very likely though. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! There is a scientist that has worked extensively in that area that I might send the pic too if I can find his contact information to see if he can identify it.
I think this is the only shot I have unfortunately, thanks for the help though!
I love this plant!
Unfortunately I'm afraid it was too late. I was excited to see it but sad that it had to be in such a circumstance.
I figured, but you never know haha.
