I've never seen anything like it Brian, but it looks like your persistence has paid off and you nailed this one! Any idea what it is?

Okay, We live about 4 miles up a dirt road from Valencia Negros Oriental in the Philippines. Our altitude is about 390 meters above sea level and we have about 2000 sq meters. Everything I post comes from our yard.

This one is a macro winner. I applaud your persistence in learning this technique. It finally paid off for you. You should send this one to a bug finder for ID. One that came up is: BugGuide.net. Try google.

Sadly bug guide is for North America. Google brings up a lot but it overwhelms the novice. I have sent out some querries to Philippine universities so maybe someone will get back to me. Originally Posted by IzzieK
