Field Notes

Description:

A flying insect in a pupa form.
About 9mm in length.
The insect looks like it is going to emerge soon because I can see little details clearly - eyes, antennas, body segments and wings.
It is either a Lepidoptera or a Diptera.
It's more likely a small moth because their caterpillars make themselves silk sacs like those of a spider's on leaves. (Usually thin long parallel-veined leaves)

Habitat:

Monocotyledons plants of Kinabalu National Park, Kundasang, Sabah, Malaysia.

Notes:

>>>Map accuracy : 40m radius.
