I may be wrong but I will tell you why I'm think it is a C. pelias (actually I believe it to be a subspecies but when I tried to include that in the entry it would not post). The snake in the picture here has bands; C. ornata and C. paradisi both have markings that are more like crosshatching. On that same note, C. ornata has a line down the center of each scale and C. paradisi has a spot on the center of each scale. The snake shown here does not appear to have either of those traits. Plus it may be hard to see in a photograph...there's not much for size comparison, but judging by the blades of grass and leaves laying near by I'd guess this snake is very small. C. pelias is the smallest of the flying snake species.

Wikipedia says this is one of the most rare species of flying snake and while they can move horizontally through the air, they do not glide as well as the C. paradisi. Here is a blog post you may find interesting http://wildlifecapiz.blogspot.com/2012/0...... ... the post is from 2012 and apparently this was a previously unknown subspecies of the flying snake. Two people mention location, one said Panay Island and another said Capiz. *I'm not familiar with the geography of the Philippines, but from what I see online it looks like Capiz is on Panay Island (?)*

What does it look like under the cap? Are the gills widely spaced or close together? What color are the gills? Or does it have pores instead of gills? It looks like it might possibly be a kind of Cort (which has gills) but it also looks like it could be a type of Bolete (which has pores).

Thank you, AntónioGinjaGinja! I am enjoying the site so far, I'm very glad to have found it. I was browsing around the web using Bing after seeing a photograph of a Picasso Bug on Pinterest and just happened to stumble across this sight. It is very interesting and I'm looking forward to spending some time here.

video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7_uwjRT... I tried three times to post this yesterday and I kept getting an error when I tried to save. I copied and pasted everything into a text doc and when I came back this morning to have a look there were various drafts. I deleted the extras and then just now have been copying and pasting my entries back to this page. This time I went one section at a time and then I would click save changes and it worked every time up until I tried to post the link to the video I recorded of this same Rough Green Snake. I'm not sure why it will not work.

Awesome! I have never seen one in the wild.

Found it....http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Care-for-a-Christmas-Cactus-and-Get-Gorgeous-Blooms-/10000000206279098/g.html?roken2=ti.pU3RlcGhhbmllIFJvc2U=

This is cool, what a coincidence! I just read an article a couple days ago about the Christmas cactus and how there are two other variations that look very similar but are in fact different...one is more properly called the Thanksgiving and the other as mentioned here by concy88, the Easter cactus. The main way to tell them apart is by what time of year they bloom, which as I'm sure you guessed, they each bloom in the season of the holiday after which they were named. The article came to me in an email...if I still have it then I will post the link.

I agree with alicelongmartin! Nice photo. It looks like they could be related to cobras the way it looks coming from its jaw around towards its back. Actually cobras and racers are in the same Suborder but I'm not sure how closely related that really make them.

I apologize: Hemiptera is the Order, not the Family. The Family is probably Scutelleridae. I thought this was a Rainbow Shield-backed Bug (Chrysocoris sp.) but when I compared images...I don't think that is correct either...
