Thank you, Ava! I believe there's so much happening around all the time... if only we could stop looking and start seeing !

"It's so hot here!".... awesome picture, lucky you!

Indeed! Eurema it is, and that's one BIG family to narrow it down any further. Thank you, and do leave me your name, so I could address you better than "S Frazier".

This seems like a Chinese red-headed yellow-leg (Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans). (Wish you could have gotten a better shot of the head).

I had read up about this 4 years back, when I picked up a similar one on a car trip to a very "wet" Mahabaleshwar, India. We spotted it on our way back, and after 2 weeks of searching the car, it finally decided to "appear" on my wife's head on a night drive!

Thank you, Yuko.
And thank you, S. Frazier, for the correction.

Thank you, Gilma. Your posts are a wonderful showcase of the extremely diverse life-forms in your region. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Debbie, and must I say you've got excellent finds from your extensive travels!

Yes, it is! Thank you, Argy, and now that I have some comparison, I can see that has been infested with phoretic mites. To confirm, I have cropped the image and added it to the series. Wish I could have gotten a shot with more light.

Hi. Hemma. please check your post for my msg.

Hi. Hemma. Let me start by saying that it's a very unclear picture, probably because of less light (sunset?), and considering the brown of the branch is appearing as gray (white balance problem), I think this is a Potamarcha congener (female). The faintly seen colored streaks on the thorax and the ovipositor flaps hint this being a female of this species.

Here (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/127...) is a clearer picture of a similar specimen. Cheers!
