Ropalidia sp.
Length: ~0.5cm Season : Summer season Time : 2:50pm 27May2021 Frequency : Very Rare Life stage : Adult
Spotted inside the car parking very close to open abandoned area with lot of plants.
Dead specimen.
Tagging with Genus name as suggested in the reference. Thank you Võ Anh Tuấn and Ornithoptera80! :)
Another spotting of same species : https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10...
Thank you Võ Anh Tuấn for the suggestion! :) It's very close but a small difference observed. On the thorax, 1st horizontal thick yellow band is different although 2nd horizontal thin yellow band and 3rd vertical thin pair are matching well. Is it a ignorable difference? If not, better to tag the spotting with "Ropalidia special.".
