Moved
Moved from Jikradia olitoria.

Coelidia olitoria
The way it curls its abdomen over its back is distinctive.

 
Thank you
Thank you

Me too
I've been photographing these too, and they seem to come in a great variety of colors, including yellow, tan, green, and now with yours, black. Structurally (as opposed to color) they seem the same or very close.

I also posted one this morning that was mostly blue.

My guess is Jikradia/Coelidia olitoria, but I hope Andy Hamilton can set us straight on these.

 
I saw it
I saw yours and noticed the similarities, waiting for Andy Hamilton's comments.
