              I opened my JD account with this Spotting :

              Stick Insect, Phasmid - Orthonecroscia keatsooni Female Stick Insect, Phasmid from the genus Orthonecroscia.<br /> Newly described by Dr. Francis Seow-Choen in his book, A Taxanomy Guide to Stick Insects of Borneo in May 2016.<br /> This Phasmid was seen during a night walk at Tawau Hills Park.

              and the second one :

              Black-and-Red Stick Insect - Female This is a female Phasmid of the species Orthomeria kangi, newly described in February 2016 and named after me.<br /> <br /> The female of this species and other species under the genus of Orthomeria has shortened wings and are not capable of flights. The distinctive feature of this species is the red wings. The body is almost all black although brown variations have been seen before, but not often.<br /> <br /> Male of this species can be seen here :<br /> <br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/45403/black-and-red_stick_insect_-_male.html<br /> Benguet,Fall,Geotagged,Kang Stick Insect,Orthomeria kangi,Phasmid,Philippines,Stick Insect


              I can't remember who 'created' the species ID then, but I eventually edited the Info sections with more details :D               Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago
