Harlequin cotton bug

Tectocoris diophthalmus

Description:

Harlequin cotton bug

Habitat:

Frangipani

Notes:

There was 6 of them on frangipani leaves on the same branch, the one pictured I found first on the ground below tree. Could not see any others on any other branches of the tree or surrounding area. Absolutely stunning, photos don’t do it justice
