Hi Arne,
I just got this strange Arabic commercial which has somehow crashed into our conversation. I think you might want to ask a ranger to delete it from your spotting. John B.
Thanks John B, I will use that name. It seems that the wings are still short. I was looking for a picture with the same pattern om the abdomen. I found only an old drawing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:...
Hi Arne,
I think this might be a brown form Atractomorpha psittacina psittacina. I got my ID on this one from the insectoid.info website years ago, but it no longer exists on the web. So, now I am struggling with citations for my own spottings. Please look at the following which might help a little: http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common... (confirms Philippine presence)
