Thank you!
This little critter was originally identified as Tellomona collina and then was moved to Telamona ampelopsidis. Now it's back to where it started. It's one of my favorite finds of all time!!!

yes
sorry about that. Telamona can be a tough genus and there is a lot of variation within species.
