Seems reasonable, but please crop your images to a rectangle
that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you, as the contributor, can click on your image and see the full size 1000 pixel image you posted, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction, which makes ID more difficult.

OK
I cropped the images, and will tag and move. Thanks.

Possible ID
Upon further investigation, this appears to me to be Tarache lucasi, Hodges#9148. Can I get confirmation?
