Thanks a lot Chief, you know what, i also found it on a dried teak leaf!!

Hi Nuwan,
I was fortunate to see these bugs growing up on a Teak Wood Tree (Tectona grandis) on two occasions with a few weeks gap. But they never let me see them matured, but they disappeared somewhere. In those days I had spotted a few bugs which I suppose one of them could be above bugs matured form, and plase find them below...
