    Do you think this could be Gonocerus sp.? I can't tell them apart from Plinachtus imitator. Do you know the difference? Posted 3 years ago

    I identified it as Plinachtus imitator because of two IDs on inaturalist and one of those identifiers said:"Note longitudinal black stripes near from the eyes". Maybe that's a way of distinguish them. Posted 3 years ago

      Perfect...that must be an important characteristic bc I don't see those stripes on Gonocerus. Posted 3 years ago
