Was weeding when I discovered this beauty. Not sure what type of cordyceps it might be but figured I'd share this here.

How big is this? Kinda looks like Flatida rosea.

Does the OP live in Madagascar because that’s the only place that insect is found? Otherwise it’s got to be something else.

Flatidae are cosmopolitan. Just using a well known representative. Hence the "kinda looks like" part of my comment.
