Field Notes

Description:

Pale brown with brown patterns. It has the flattened body which is believed is the adoption for moving under tree barks. It has very long legs. The legs move sideway when running like a cockroach.

Notes:

I think this one might be a nymph because it was very small.

Fabulous creature. I think I can see wing buds there... it's a nymph!
