Millipede Assassin Bug, Caquetá,Colombia

Subfamily Ectrichodiinae. I think I looked at every single assassin bug from South America, but at best partial matches.
Update: Pothea jaguaris according to experts in a FB assassin bug group.

  Thank you very much for trying. Given the area, could be undescribed. Posted 2 years ago

  I tried in a FB assassin bugs group (yes, there really is one) and multiple people think it's Pothea jaguaris, which indeed seems somewhat variable in its patterns, even if we can't find an example of one looking exactly like this. Will go for that tentatively. Posted 2 years ago

    Oh cool! That was the closest species I could find, but discounted it bc I couldn't match the pattern, lol. Posted 2 years ago

Regardless of the species, I like the black and orange coloration against the shiny green leaf. Posted 2 years ago
