Spotted while hiking last Sunday...


Please focus your attention on the yellow spotted
creature -- and yes, it really is not a leaf!

Can anyone tell me what it is? If so, I'd be most grateful! :b

P.S. Please feel free to click on the photo in order to view an enlarged version of it!

Update: Positive ID made by tngan -- see more on this entry's comments thread! :)

Re your comment on last post - of course not! Your blog seems full of ideas for exploring HK, which is one of my personal interests too (and source of ideas for blog and Time Out photos!)
For the bug, check out this amazing picture by blogger/photographer Andrew:

Hi CherryPie --

Agreed! :b

Hi baroness radon --

You're welcome -- and I'm so glad that this entry's got a good response, including an answer as to what is in the picture! :)

Hi Emilie --

So... does Hong Kong inspire you too or are you saying my blog does?! ;O

Emilie said...

Haha, Hong Kong inspires me, but your blog posts remind me that there is a lot I haven't seen yet!

Hi again Emilie --

That sounds good to me -- thanks! :)

Hi Olivia --

Yes, well... and when you return to Hong Kong for a visit, we really *must* go hiking some more! ;b
