Hello I spotted them many times during my night safary in the forest. They are pretty big with a bright green color. Thanks for the interesting information.

Teriffic, Michele. This stick insect is actually mimicking a leaf and has very tiny non functional wings. The male is thin, brown and winged and can be seen in Leuba's link.

have a look at this Michele, the head and mouth parts look a little like your insect's http://www.flickr.com/photos/supervliegzus/5747449080/

interesting head and mouth parts -like a scoop! seems to have wing buds or reduced wings. A leaf insect nymph perhaps??
