I can't say what it is, but interesting mimicry of a dry leaf. Maybe a nymph stage of some insect ... Very good photos. I hope Simo also takes some diptera photos and show us ;)

Very nice pictures of a very strange insect.
Looks like some kind of fish that ended up in a tree :D

I think I found a good match: a caterpillar of
Penthema formosanum (Satyridae or Nymphalidae/Satyrinae), should feed on various bamboo spp. Please compare with
