Field Notes

Description:

The size of the body is about 25mm. A very curious big proboscis on it and long antennae. Each of the six legs has a little claw on it which it seems to use to hang onto things. It moves relatively slowly when not threatened, but is quick to hide from line of sight when you move too close to it.

Habitat:

Seen on many occasions in my yard. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
