Francis Floe, Even I'm not sure about the exact species so better to tag at Genus level, as you have suggested. Thanks :)
m.prasad.369, I'm not actually sure about the exact species so I'd rather put Metochus sp. but if you're already sure about it, then you can just freely put in its exact scientific name.
Francis Floe, Thank you for the details. Given links showcase 2 species:
Metochus uniguttatus Thunberg 1822
Dieuches armatipes (Walker, 1872)
Both these Genus are part of same Tribe Rhyparochromini. As per wiki Metochus is found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia. So, can we tag this spotting as Metochus uniguttatus Thunberg 1822 or Metochus sp.?
