I agree with you Hisserdude on Hemithyrsocera vittata!

This isn't histrio, these have been mislabeled all over the internet, true histrio look quite different. This is an H.vittata nymph, (lateralis isn't a valid species anymore BTW).

Hi Nuwan, I also looked at this, most of the pictures on this site are also from Chiang Mai, it proves a useful resource for me, just not this time.
