Size: 1/2 inch app.
This colourful bug was resting deep inside the petals of one of my roses. It took some shaking to dislodge it. I photographed it after if fell to the ground. Help with ID please.

Looks like
a species of Mormidea. I don't think it's Lugens.

Thank you.
now all we need is to make sure I am correct :) Please wait for an expert to confirm this. I always like to be sure.

Consensus, maybe:-)
I'm no expert either (Dr. David Ryder is, but he visits infrequently, if at all anymore). Still, I think it is safe to place this image with the Perillus species you suggest. Nice detective work, Ron.
