Found this unusual Mantis on a vine in a Tsingy. Has very small winglets so cannot fly. Jumps quite well. Interesting half moon sharps to it knee joints. Not recognised by the local guides.

Adult female aye-aye. Emerged from nest (photo 4) to scratch itself on tree just after nightfall, before briefly returning to its nest prior to leaving on its night search for food.

I know just that it is a moth, but if you can help out for the genus and species.
