Lestidae - Orolestes wallacei

Lestidae - Orolestes wallacei (Kirby, 1889)

I was extremely delighted to bump into Orolestes wallacei in Cameron Highlands. Orolestes wallacei is a large species for family Lestidae with a size of hw 32 mm. It is normally found at swampy forest. In Cameron Highlands, O. wallacei was recorded at an altitude of 750 m. Orolestes wallacei normally pearches with wings spread and hangs under leaves and branches of trees.
