Pyrota decorata
When I found them mating, the larger one was munching away a beautiful wild lavender flower while the smaller one was just there hanging trying to stay on a small branch!! When they move the larger one went on as if alone while the small one went behind backwards!!
Thank you bayucca, the picture in the "meloidae link is exactly like mine, thanks.
Meloidae, Meloinae, Pyrotini. Looks like being a variation of Pyrota decorata?
