Roy: I see. Insufficient images for accurate ID. Well, there's a good a start. Lauren: Saw a greenish-brown one recently on the window, thought it was a wood splinter. I went on to poke it, to clear my doubt :)

This would be so well hidden in a tree or leaf litter. Very neat.

I have a lot of trouble with these there seem to be a lot of species but few pictures or named specimens available. This is most probably a Scalmicauda species but I think there is another genus which look very similar. I have a photo of it from Cameroon
