Finally I got the correct ID from Dr. Frank H. Hennemann (Entomologist from Germany) , with the help of fellow blogger Amila Salgado from Sri Lanka.
Lonchodes brevipes, Gray 1835 (Subfamily Lonchodinae)
Here picture of same species from Poland web site ,terrarium.com.pl , translate to English here.
Compare it to the world longest insect (56.7cm) named after Malaysian naturalist.

Wow, what an insect. It has the perfect camouflage.
We have a similar insect in Hawaii. They are fascinating -- with a perfect camouflage for their environment. I am not surprised that Amila could direct you to someone who could identify your specimen.
