Oncideres sp.
Very large speciman measuring nearly 1.5". Lovely variable brown and orange pattern
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 5 months into the 6 month rainy season.
Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Oncideres sp.. Unfortunately I have no electronic reference for this one.
its possible manval, thanks bayucca. I'll keep checking. I have another spotting of the same species. I'll probably get to it in a week or so. Maybe the fotos are better. Did you notice that there is a nymph resting on the neck/head of this individual?
I am not sure: yours has no dark band (!) in the middle of the body segment and no dark spots behind the head. Very close, indeed, but not the same, I think...
