Slim like a Toothpick

While hiking around in some grasses nearby some ponds I saw this guy jump and as I took photos he would try to hide behind the piece of grass.

I know that feeling, and when you turn, they turn, mirroring you :) Posted 9 years ago

Are this ones very similar to Achurum sumichrasti? Hard to see the difference. Nice shot! Cheers* Posted 9 years ago

  Thanks! I'm not great with insect identification so if you suspect something else please let me know. I even suspect it could be Leptysma marginicollis as well. The website I found says that stripes in the eyes of Achurum are not prominent, which could point to Leptysma.
