    Yes, it is a nymph of the Rhaphigaster Nebulosa.

    Howdy,
    Not the best perspective for ID, but imho this is NOT Rhaphigaster nebulosa, but Picromerus bidens (5th instar nymph).
    Please remove/add tags accordingly so the images may be displayed in the correct galleries :o)     Posted 8 years ago
