Stick Insect, Phasmid - Dinophasma braggi
This is a male Phasmid of the species Dinophasma braggi.
When I saw it, I didn't pay too much attention to it as it is 'damaged' with 2 legs missing.
After the trip, when I was looking for the ID, only then I realized this was a very rare species.
The description of this species was based on old specimen materials kept in the National Museum of Vienna and tagged as paralectotype of Phaeophasma alatum.
