thanks Chun. I eventually got round to entering it in those missions...
There is an Indian Mantises mission but the place you spotted this seems to be out of the radius. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12784432 There are also global missions where this spotting can be added into, For example: - Nature in Yellow - Mimetic Animals of the World - Symbiotic Relationships
Thanks Chun, which mission should I put it in?
Hi Pamsai, just to let you know that this spotting is currently in the butterfly mission which it is not supposed to be.
Looks like a Creobroter gemmatus. Then again, most Creobroter species look alike.
