Found this during the insect workshop 2 weeks back. We were sampling in Hindhede Park for an identification session later when one participant chanced on it perched on a Licuala frond. Needless to say the insect became the center of attention for all the insect lovers in the group. In a flash, it was surrounded with cameras trying to get a good shot of it. I was lucky to snap off a few frames before leaving the scene and letting the others have their turn.
