Impressive. Even though it reminds me of another fake, the "mummified mermonkey", taken apart by Hoaxbusters.com
BTW, the wings aren't necessarily a give-away. It may be considered by some as a typical faerie detail. Many known insects look, in whole or just the wings, like leaves, in an amazing camouflage process. Some look like normal leaves, to conceal themselves (very efficiently). Others have the exact appearance of sickly, partly-rotten leaves, in order to give an appearance that really doesn't look edible. Also very efficient.

Yes, it's well done, I wonder how he did it.
(I thought the give-away is the wings, I think they're leaves.)
