Borneo Stick Mantis
A large stick mantis endemic to Borneo with leaf-like wing expansions. Its wings resemble dried leaves and add to its twig-and-leaf disguise.

Its leaf-like wing expansions are wider than those of any other Toxodera species.
Scarce Chaser
A medium-sized dragonfly where mature males develop a powdery blue abdomen. It is associated with clean, slow-flowing rivers with abundant marginal vegetation.
Did You Know?
Despite its name, the scarce chaser has become increasingly common in parts of Europe as water quality in rivers has improved.
