Deadly Beauty Emerging!

I have been observing the nymph with the dull boring look on the same exact tree for a few weeks and was fortunate to observe it moulting to adult and emerging in bright red colours. A few hours later, when turning back on the same trail checking on the same exact tree, saw the same Assassin bug has turned into the dark/light brown form.

  Thanks, Ferdy.
  It is always interesting to see what the nymphs turned out to be with better chance to get them identified, otherwise, it is hardly possible.
  
  Just a few days ago, finally managed to see an adult Mossy Mantis which I have been observing on the same tree since June. Hopefully can get it identified to species level, if not, maybe to confirm that it could be a new species :D Posted 3 years ago
