Dead leaf mantis!
Amazing camouflage of a dead leaf mantis nymph (Deroplatys sp.). I wouldn't have spotted it if it hadn't swayed itself a little too much in the wind. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8091/8407497593_4535b700c9_o.jpg IMG_6003 copy by Kurt (Hock Ping Guek) orionmystery.blogspot.com , on Flickr http://far...

Thanks again David. I can see the "Edit" button now. Wasn't there before.moloch wrote:Hello Kurt,
I like the photo addition here ... a great looking snake. The head shape reminds me a little of a Mock Viper.
Editing on a prior post works fine for me.

Re: Keel bellied whip snake
Thanks for the comments, folks. No editing allowed on the original post :(. Why? Dryophiops rubescens. Found it on crawling up a tree.

Re: Snakes macro
Cosmos Almighty...this shot puts every picture I've ever taken to shame. How do you get your pix so bright and brilliant, and how far away were you from the snake? http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6144/6028707942_fd88dc3999_o.jpg Thanks Hans.
