Back from Borneo
Just back from our 3rd trip to Borneo. Sabah, Eastern Malaysia still had rainy weather into June. Great for insects. While researching on the Internet, your site and this Nature Conservancy press release Google Image Result for http://www.nature.org/pressroom /images/dscn1301.jpg came up. I photographed some great things. Great mimics. Hope they can be of some use……….

Hi Chris,
We received a very blurry image of this species back in January of 2005 and Eric Eaton believed it to be one of the Giant Shield Bugs. How exciting that it might well be a new species. Thanks for sending your photos and the links.
