Hi S Frazier, thank you so much for the information, I am so flattered to be featured on the blog :)
Hi GunawanMuhammad. Your spotting is featured in the new PN blog post via a link! Cheers http://projectnoah.tumblr.com/post/58511189211/the-wildlife-of-indonesia
Great. The more spottings and spotters we have the easier it will be to try to out names to unknown spottings.
Thanks travellingchez, yes it is so hard to find, I was just lucky :) Thanks for the information about the mission, I've joined already and will discover more Indonesian arthropods, I ask my students to join also :)
What a great spot. I can imagine they are very hard to find. Would you consider adding this to Arthropods of Indonesia mission. It's here if you are interested. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/17739016
@all. been busy lately, thank you so much for the comments, still discovering for the next unique organisms in Borneo
Thanks all for your comments! I really appreciate your suggestions about the missions and the genus (or species) :) @JuanDiTrani i've joined the mimetic animals mission already thanks :)
Some websites suggest this genus... http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/Chorotypus/classification/

Hi GunawanMuhammad, it seems you enter the mimetic animals tag instead enter the Mimetic Animals mission, here's the link http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015991
Great Organism.... wonderful
Nice spotting, this is a Chorotypus grasshopper. In Borneo, you could only get them from deep jungles. I have only seen one before from Bako, Sarawak.
amazing! great find..
I cannot believe that this is not leaf. Great picture,.
What a great spotting - well done and thanks for sharing !
