Thank you, Ashish. HUGE list indeed.:) Unfortunately there were only 2 Alydidae on the list and none of them matches this. This one, however, looks close to a spotting of S Frazier (Indonesia). http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/102...

hi
Would you, by any chance, be familiar with Riptortus serripes?
Their predators are mostly small Reptiles based on plants, Spiders, Mantis, Assassin Bugs and some small birds.
Thank you, Luis, YukoChartraw and Ashish. Yes, Ashish, poor bug. I wonder what attacked it.
Look to be a survivor of predatory attack... it lost one jumping leg at half length.
Broad Headed Bug (Alydidae)
Great spotting Veronica!
