Hi guys

I think it's Macroscytus brunneus but...I doubt. Sorry

Thanks for the info. Mine certainly looks very similar to yours.
BTW, in the English language the word Bug has always been used for any insect, long before it was developed by scientists for a specific order of sucking insects. For differentiation the correct scientific terminology is True Bug.
