This is Columbiophasma taeniatum female

I'm impressed with your one-handed photography David! Lovely detail on the last one, especially when seen over at Flickr. As you say, plenty more in the Album at Flickr. Good stuff.

Thank you, from you that is a great compliment. I like photos on my hand as it gives scale and also I know that the colours are correct as I have something to check against.
Here are a few more, a moth - I am not sure how to make moth photos more interesting.

I hadn't thought of that, especially the colours. Good thinking.

Here are a few more

More good stuff, particularly to my eye this one - a wonderful subject and a good photo of it too - all in focus and excellent clarity.

Thank you, I love the colourful grasshoppers there. I did't actually go to that great a place for photos. This was not good quality cloud forest but rural land near it. If I had been better organized I would have got to the good quality cloud forest but I wasn't - not a mistake I will make next time I hope.
