What a fabulous catch!
I saw the cricket that appeared in my house with its wings(?)extended like this, but was unable to capture them in that position. Very frustrating. Fascinating little creatures.

Moved
Moved from Phyllopalpus. There's only this one species in the genus.

Vanishing female
I wouldn't want to be seen with this feather-duster, either. LOL! Nice shot of a really odd critter.

Phyllopalpus sp., male. The other individual was indeed a female.
