Finally got my Heteropteryx dilatata (Malayan Jungle nymphs) today. They are not quite adult yet, but the biggest female is already showing some lovely colouration.
(Excuse the crap pics)

Females can get almost twice this size Stu. 
You can see plenty of pics on Google of adults if you type in "Jungle nymph", but you may have to wade through a few other things. I did.

Neep neep, if you want to see some decent pics of them as adults and avoid the "other type of nymph pics" type in the latin name. They really are impressive as adults
