Origin: Sabah (N. Borneo), size slightly over 20mm An interesting species, and rare in collections I have seen. I speculate that this species uses its coloration to avoid detection when resting on a branch, limb or trunk of a tree. [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
