Hi,Torsten
What do you think about Phthiacnemia?
It seems to fit using the Brailovsky key (2009) but you're right, more angles are needed. Pronotum and abdomen would be useful, but this is the only photo I have. If I found one again, I'll be sure to get those angles, too.
Thanks, Torsten. I think I'd go with Z. ruficeps too.
It is not a stick insect but a thread-legged bug (Reduviidae:Emesinae). As far as I know, the usually lurk near spider webs and steal the preys from the spider.
Cool, bayucca. Thanks, I'm thinking Zelus, but I couldn't find anything similar (I mean, I find similar in morphology, that lead me to Zelus, but can't find any Zelus with this colours, so... I think I am stuck with this one). I'll wait for your help :-)
I think it is P. americana americana (http://bugguide.net/node/view/618907/bgp...).
GünterHartman, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it is correct.
La especie está difícil, pero la familia es Dictyopharidae
Es un alydidae, no un reduviidae, yo los confundí también la primera vez que encontré uno(hace pocos días de hecho http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/523...).
Claro, Miguel... Me daré una vuelta por sus fotos para hecharles un ojo.
