Artist's Comments

A threatened giant phasmid Heteropteryx dilatata kicks like a mule; the threatening pose exposes long rows of spurs on insect's hind legs.

By the way, it kind of reminds me of the battle droid, Droideka, from Phantom menace: [link]

It is only wings germs. Adult female have three times larger wings, but of course it is not enough to fly. Males of this species have very large wings, but they are not good fliers because they are also very heavy insects.
