Mattiphus reflexus
This very active little fella was 3 cm / 1.2 inches long. He didn't seem at all shy, and very obligingly paused/posed every so often so I could take a photo. :-)
Hills overlooking Manila.

Thanks again Agnes! In fact, double thanks: finally I have the right coordinates!
Ann, pls try using this location - Lat: 14.60, Long: 121.14.
Hi Ann, this is Mattiphus reflexus also :)
Ann, that explains it! :)
Hi Agnes! Actually we live (& have all our bug/moth/etc. visitors) in Valley Golf - on the edge of Manila, near Antipolo. But the PN map automatically seems to see "Manila" as Intramuros...
Ann, this is a beauty! I never thought Intramuros in Manila houses beautiful bugs (as can be seen from your collection). I miss Intramuros, spent 5 years in studies there :)
Thanks Yuko!
Amazing!
Could anyone help me ID this good-looking Shield/Stink bug?
Thanks!
