Leptoglossus gonagra
Leptoglossus gonagra Fabricius, 1775. https://bugguide.net/node/view/56821 describes it as follows: "(Leptoglossus gonagra) is a Leaf-footed Bug. Pronotum with narrow transverse arched yellow to red stripe extending to sharply spined humeral angles; abdominal venter with seven longitudinal yellow stripes; antennae black with yellow bands on last three segments."
These adult specimens were all spotted in the same location as the L. gonagra nymphs shown in my spotting no: 475443573. The main observation I made on this visit, to that little patch of uncultivated, overgrown land, was that whilst the nymphs were almost entirely on Passsionariang-mabaho (Passiflora foetida), the imagos (adults) were well dispersed amongst various other plants, but especially Banana (Musa sp.) and Saluyot (Corchorus capsularis).
