Neoxabea bipunctata
An interesting katydid/grasshopper-like insect which walked around in a very slow fashion. It seemed as if it had adapted to low light conditions, as the body was very faded, a characteristic of living in dim light. The insect looked somewhat scaled, and had a small head in proportion to the rest of its body. It seemed like it was being harassed by a centipede.
As with me; I originally thought these might've been a species of Lacewing when I first discovered them. They look like a mix of a cricket and a lacewing!
Crazy little htings.
Thanks! I've never heard of these things until I randomly came across it today!! :)
This is a female; they have less defined wings than on the male one you found in the last spotting!
