Do you have a detailed shot of hind legs?
It could be helpful for species ID.

Just curious
How did you make the ID by using the back leg?

Thanks, John
So amazing. I guess just lucky to get the right angle to pick up the leg. Looks like another new one for BG.

Range
It seems that range alone must make many at genus Eustictus mundus? Or are there more than 3?

There are lots of species other than 3...
I made three species pages for the purpose of comparison since they have similar color patterns.
But, since there are only a few more eastern species, I expect we could get some IDs for the photos of eastern guys sooner or later.

It looks like Eustictus sp.
I wish I could get the species name of this guy.
Moved from Plant Bugs.
