This was taken in Borneo (actually Sabah, East Malaysia), Near Kota Kinabalu. Has anyone any idea of the Genus (better still down to species level) ??

Thanks lizardman,

It's certainly given me a starting point. My difficulty now is to find similar species, and the differences between them. Looks as if either the local library is going to take a real hammering, or the bank balance is going to take a real hammering on the purchase of the appropriate field guide. Oh well, it's only money....
