The pics were taken in Pilanesberg National Park, Northwest Province, South Africa. The subject was reluctant to pose and kept flying off, hence the somewhat awkward shots!

Dear Brian,
This is a Big Legged Bug in the family Coreidae. In South Africa they are also known as Twig Wilters. We have been unable to conclusively identify your species, but we did find a remarkably similar looking specimen posted on the Beetles in the Bush website where it is referred to by the local name Magodo.
