My guess is palm frond origami. Cool!

I did a double take on it... looked a lot like a bug at first. IF you never said "Does anyone know what this is?" I would not have looked as close as I did. This was great.
Sorry Marko.
I admit I spent a longtime looking for its eyes thinking it was a phasmid of some kind but I finally noticed the legs.
cheers

Very clever indeed. And I too had to look twice after 'some sort of leaf insect' had already leapt to mind.
Insects have 6 legs though
It may have worked better if placed in a more green environment like a grass to hide some it's leg and body features.
Think like an insect Marko ... sitting on that rock is like a bright neon sign to a bird to come and have lunch.
Ok secret is out...but I'm glad some of you took a double take.
The gardeners made it at the hotel I was staying at. It's made of palm leaves I believe. The straight giveaway were the legs but boy first time the gardener showed it to me, I too took a double take.
Thx!

First thought: 'Kinda looks like a leaf. What a werid bug :S"
Ha, I thought there was something funny about the legs but couldn't quite my finger on it. Nice try on trying to fool us
