Excellent. Built like stealth bugs. Good catch.

Hi, I found your bug (see suggestion). As far as your question, members of the family of your species, Tessaratomidae... "They are mostly found in tropical Africa, Asia, and Oceania though a few species can be found in the Neotropics and Australia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessaratomi.... Cheers
